Michel, how do you see the intersection of the three coalitions with the Global Solution Networks?

>>Michel Bauwens:
>>The recent success of a global mobilization (500+ participants and 
collectives in 23 countries and over 50 cities) to collaborative map 
P2P-driven, commons-oriented, collaboration/sharing-based initiatives in hispanic countries, has shown a grassroots hunger for more mutual 
coordination to enhance the capacity to initiate social change. I would 
like to add the hypothesis that what is in the making is not just a new 
social imaginery, but also  a potential new political subject. To build 
and obtain more civic infrastructures to enable and empower autonomous 
social production, I believe we must move to mutualize our forces and 
create a new set of political, social and economic institutions which 
can have ‘transitional’ effects, i.e. prepare the ground for a 
phase-transition to a political economy and civilization in which 
socially and environmentally friendly free association between 
autonomous producers and citizens become the norm.
>>I believe the time is there to start constructing the following three institutional coalitions:
>>* The civic/political institution: The Alliance of the Commons
>>An alliance of the commons is an alliance, meeting place and network 
of p2p-commons oriented networks, associations, places; who do not have 
economic rationales. These alliances can be topical,  local, 
transnational, etc … An example is the initiative Paris Communs Urbains 
which is attempting to create a common platform for urban commons 
intiatives in the Paris region; another Parisian/French example  is the 
freecultural network Libre Savoirs, which is developing a set of policy 
proposals around digital rights. (both examples were communicated to me 
by Lionel Maurel).
>>An alliance of the commons is a meeting place and platform to 
formulate policy proposals that enhance civic infrastructures for the 
commons.
>>* The economic institution: the P2P/Commons Globa-local « Phyle »
>>A phyle (as orgiginally proposed by lasindias.net) is a coalition of commons-oriented, community-supportive ethical 
enterprises which trade and exchange in the market to create livelyhoods for commoners and peer producers engaged in social production. The use 
of a peer production licence keeps the created exchange value within the sphere of the commons and strengthens the existence of a more 
autonomous counter-economy which refuses the destructive logic of 
profit-maximisation and instead works to increase benefits for their 
own, but also the emerging global commons. Phyles created integrated 
economies around the commons, that render them more autonomous and 
insure the social reproduction of its members. Hyperproductive global 
phyles that generate well-being for their members will gradually create a counterpower to the hitherto dominant MNO’s.
>>* The political-economy institution: The Chamber of the Commons
>>In analogy with the well-known chambers of commerce which work on the infrastructure for for-profit enterprise, the Commons chamber 
exclusively coordinates for the needs of the emergent coalitions of 
commons-friendly ethical enterprises (the phyles), but with a 
territorial focus. Their aim is to uncover the convergent needs of the 
new commons enterprises and to interface with territorial powers to 
express and obtain their infrastructural, policy and legal needs.In short, we need a alliance of the commons to project civil 
and political power and influence at every level of society; we need 
phyles to strengthen our economic autonomy from the profit-maximizing 
dominant system; and we need Chambre of the Commons to achieve 
territorial policy; legal and infrastructural conditions for the 
alternative, human and nature-friendly political economy to thrive. 
Neither alone is sufficient, but together they could be a powerful triad for the necessary phase transition.
