Most people think a COMMONS is a resource held in common, but that is a misleading partial truth. There are a minimum of THREE ELEMENTS required for a commons to exist: 
1- a defined resource;
2- a defined group of people sharing that resource; and
3- a set of agreements among those people about how they share that resource.

This means that a commons is a SOCIAL ECOSYSTEM that links a resource to a group of people.

If you want to learn more about that and the implications of it, then join myself and author and independent scholar of commoning David Bollier January 20-21, 2017 here in Montague, MA for an evening talk and one-day workshop. For more information, follow the link!
