thanks Sam, much appreciated!!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 8:44 AM, Samuel Rose <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:samuel.rose@gmail.com">samuel.rose@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
I&#39;ve added reference to Anishinaabe Council of Three Fires, which is a<br>
confederacy of tribes that was founded here in Michigan during the 6th<br>
century, will add more resources about it, details of governance<br>
structure, etc (was and is  similar to Iriquois 5 nations)<br>

&gt; and in particular the historical experiences in democracy it leads to:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Athenian Democracy ; Foundations of Athenian Democracy<br>
&gt; Iroquois Confederacy‎‎<br>
&gt; European Medieval Democracy<br>
&gt; Viking Democracy<br>
&gt; Pirate Governance<br>
&gt; Paris Commune<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I would really love to make this a collective research and study project for<br>
&gt; the P2P Foundation ..<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; This would involve making a bibliography, finding where the material can be<br>
&gt; found online, and then organizing some process to read and discuss together,<br>
&gt; eventually with the aim of publishing a book. We could take one year to<br>
&gt; brush up on the history; another year to study actual peergovernance and<br>
&gt; contemporary proposals (6 months each);<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I feel that finding a renewal of democracy is really one of the crucial<br>
&gt; issues of our time.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; However, I&#39;d like someone to take the lead on this .. Vasilis, I was<br>
&gt; particularly thinking about you ...<br>
