[p2p-research] Am I missing any commons?

[Michel Bauwens]

I agree with you Sam,

I think I added the P2P to distinguish it from old style commons which may
exclude outsiders,

a P2P commons would have to consists of:

open and free input, no exclusions or a priori control of contributions

participation in governance by all contributors

universal availability

if exceptions exists, they may be commons, but not p2p commons as we
understand them
