To add to what Rebecca posted, I think it would be nice if we had a sentence or two from a few of the people on this list on 

(a) what you understand under commons research

(b) what you expect from (or what excites you about) the upcoming commons research workshop

You can post your thoughts on this list, bearing in mind that we will take some of the quotes and include them in the iCommons Annual book.

Hello friends (apologies for any cross-posts)

After a discussion with Giorgos, we decided it would be a good idea to  
post this request to the Research list. I'm gathering content for the  
iCommons Annual for the summit, and am looking for stories about the  
Commons Research track.
If any of you are interested in contributing, please give me a shout...

Best

Rebecca

Hi Giorgos

I'm busy compiling and editing the iCommons Annual at the moment   
( it's going to be slightly different from the Annual we  
distributed in Dubrovnik, with much more focus on the iSummit  
itself) and I was wondering if you'd be interested in writing a  
piece for the Annual about the Research track?

We're keeping the articles very short - about 500 words, so it's  
not a lot of writing to do, but I think people should know a bit  
about the different process and plans for the track, since it's  
so unique.

If you are interested, then it would be great to have a piece  
that explains the peer review process that you went through in  
planning the track and deciding on the speakers and papers that  
were to be presented.
Also, I thought it would be interesting to include a list of  
online resources that people who are interested in this kind  
research can turn to in order to learn a little more - a sort of  
online reading list, so to speak. Are their journals and  
publications online that we can direct people to for this kind of  
reading?
Also, if there is any other information that you think people who  
are interested in research on the Commons should be familiar  
with  - perhaps some of the terminology and phrases that may be  
unfamiliar to people who are not directly engaged with this  
research? Or a short timeline of the development of this research?

Does this sound like something you might be interested in  
writing? Or, if not, do you know of anyone else involved in the  
track who might be interested in writing for the annual?
Let  me know if you're keen (or if you know of anybody else who  
might be) and we can look at timing and deadlines after that.

All the best
Rebecca
