Dear all, 

me again - I agree with Paul that the question regarding public work and potential platforms, meaning iC - CCi public should not be discussed in this letter. The first step should be a clear "CC related" letter to the CC board as it is drafted and the iCommons question should be discussed separately - and together with iCommons. If we mix these topics up again, it will make things even more complicated and I apologize if my E-mail was not clear.... I just meant to be generally speaking and not related to the CC -board letter that I would be happy to get your thoughts about this....

Catharina

I totally agree with this letter and will be happy to sign it.

The issue with the seperation between iCommons and CC is raised, but

not really elaborated upon.

dear Florian,

thanks for your reponse....

In my opinion this will be one of the

major issues in the future. If I think of the mentioned 1000 USD paid

by CCi for the participation of (voluntary working) CCi-members to

iCommons, thereby nuking the sponsorship for travels, I feel that

clear and clean borders have to be drawn here.

i do not think that we should adress this issue in the letter  

(disclosure: i am on the board of icommons) for the simple reason that  

this decision has been made and we are beyond the point that it can be  

changed. i agree with many of you here that the way the contribution  

by CC to icommons is structured is not the most obvious or elegant  

one, but in the end it does not really matter if icommmons pays a lup  

sum of USD xxxx to icommons or if that sum is expressed as xx * nomber  

of participants send to the summit by CCi. i do agree with you that  

there need to be clear and clean borders and i think that our letter  

underlines this.

best regards, paul

This HAS to be addressed and discussed, however, I am not sure, if

this letter is the right place. On the other hand - what is?
