I'm going to submit a p2p-foundation proposal

The key ideas are so far:

* turning the FLOK program into a permanent global platform for policy work, managed by the p2p-foundation and eventual partners

* creating an office of open technology assessment

* creation of  a lab for open sustainable technologies in Vilcabamba, Ecuador

Given the overwhelming load here, I will need assistance in writing up this proposal

Dear Kevin, this is very IMPORTANT for us, can you please look at the conditions , requirements etc ..

Michel

If you want advice or input, I've copied my colleague Dave Steer who is working closely w/ Knight on the challenge. 

Cheers - MS
