Michel,

Here are some condensed responses to Mike Riddell's questions from this URL:

1. Specific protocols.  Not so relevant as a general question since 
participants in the commons will be the ones choosing these, but with regards 
to currency see #4.

2. Redefining commons.  The benefit of a commons over a market is it's 
transparency and open access.

3. Networks effects.  These are very real and not Utopian.

4. Social value cannot be reduced to a number (credits).  It is relational and 
intrinsic (related to #3).
