Michel,
I changed the subject a bit and excerpted some statements from a
couple of your messages to ask a question (below the excerpts).
<excerpts>
as you likely now, my instantiation is centered around the creation of
open and ethical enterpreneurial coalitions, that co-produce commons,
and that start applying open book accounting and open supply chains in
their collaborative practices (a la Curto Cafe), using commons-based
reciprocity licenses as their binding social charter,
[...]
The basic idea of open coops is explained here:
http://p2pfoundation.net/Why_We_Need_a_New_Kind_of_Open_Cooperativism_for_the_P2P_Age
and elaborated here:
http://p2pfoundation.net/From_the_Communism_of_Capital_to_a_Capital_for_the_Commons
At the core of such coops, intended to create cooperative
enterpreneurial coalitions, is
the proposal to use a new kind of license, commons-based reciprocity
licenses, a first instantiation of which is , though I don't like its
too explicit political language, the Peer Production License,
http://p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License
Essentially such a license creates open knowledge, with one exception:
* allows full use by not for profit and common good oriented entities
* allows full use by self-owned enterpreneurial entities
* allows full use by for-profits who contribute
so the one exception is for-profits who do not contribute, who have to
pay for the use of the license; the idea is less the money flow, but
the recreation of a moral economy and social charter about
reciprocity, to be defined by coalition itself
</excerpts>
Question: that social charter (the PPL) focuses on "intellectual
property": '“Work” means the literary and/or artistic work offered
under the terms of this License'.
Sensorica's value network concept, by contrast, deals with all kinds
of work, especially those involved in creating material goods. I
understand from past conversations that you *do* want the ideas of
peer-to-peer mutual coordination to apply to all kinds of production.
Sensorica's idea of a social charter, as I understand it, includes the
distribution of income from sales of goods and services, back along
the network of value producing activities that went into those goods
and services. Not only through one organization, but also among other
organizations that contributed to the outcomes.
That obviously does not lessen the money flow, but it does establish
reciprocity. I am curious how you would deal with the social charter
and reciprocity in the production of material goods, especially in
this period of transition. And if you know of other examples of doing
something like that, and how their social charters work.
I am not trying to persuade anybody about anything regarding
Sensorica's concept here. Their first real value equation is just now
being formulated. I use them as an example of a social charter for the
production of more than intellectual works, with the goal of
developing the means for people to make a living in these experiments
toward a better economy (although making a living from their work is
not yet a reality in their case, either).
