The Framework - Platform to support the transition
[The approaches enumerated above would be well supported with a framework/ platform -social and IT network-. A platform would help coalesce the various intitiatives, it would enable the various problematiques and needs, existing solutions and possible partnerships to be made visible to each other and encouraged in the context of a global sustainability & resilience objective. It would help connect the dots between initiatives in order to help people pull and pool resources and collaborate to grow what works for them and for the common good. It would enable learning, exchange of knowledge and experience, engagement, coordination of cooperation and action, and evaluation, debate, deliberation, decisions of specific projects or outcomes, all this in an emrging and on-going process. ]
- In particular it would allow:
- setting up 'sensors' for identifying and making sense of what emerges
- understanding issues and what is at stake across silos;
- inspiring, empowering, enabling people to collaboration and action;
- facilitating discussion, argumentation, deliberation and implementation;
- providing means for horizontal (P2P sharing) and vertical (subsidiarity principle) scaling of processes
- diffusing, applying, improving, sustaining solutions
- exchanging, reporting, evaluating, adjusting
- monitoring performance, accountability, early detection of new issues and feedback
[Ultimately, such an emergent framework/platform could be an instrument for the transition, it could facilitate the first steps and adjustments of the formation of commons governance systems and institutions.]
