Patrick,


The definition that many people have been applying to "commons"
precisely addresses the co-governance of a limited resources, such as
a shared oven. This is what Elinor Ostrum, David Bollier, and others
are writing and talking about in part. (Not an "oven" necessarily, but
shared resources, like fisheries etc. Read Ostrum's book "Governing
the commons")
