the original conception of vn was as a very loose co-operation with no  
institution in the middle. a people to people network that is. however, in  
our case it soon became clear that an outer form and some structure is  
necessary. our case is perhaps different because we want to get money  
involved and we have our specific goals which we want to achieve.  
regardless of whether money gets involved, at least to me Michel's  
explanation ("crystallisation of experience") is convincing.

one of the main issues i have with institutions (apart from generally  
being sceptical on them) is the issue of control and the relationship  
"individual-institution/decision makers". when there is an institution,  
individuals (like the chairman for instance) get quite some (statutary,  
static) powers ("decision making monopolies"). of course, when you want to  
be productive and have certain goals you seriously want to achieve,  
hierarchies and power allocations  are necessary. in the case of the most  
important day-to-day single decision maker (CTVN-G/chairman), we hope our

I think the key is, to use a concept by hierarchy philosopher Louis Dumont, to avoid the emergence of
collective individuals, i.e. groups of people claiming to represent the larger group, and conducting
themselves strategically apart and above the group.

Cooperative and algorhythmic structures can be found and experimented with, to avoid (or keep fluid),
such separation/sedimentation, and indeed, I think VN is very innovative in that respect,

[ox-en] Free Maps


Hi list!

Another sort of Free Projecs are Free Maps. See

  http://freemap.in/
  http://www.free-map.org.uk/
  http://www.openstreetmap.org/
  http://www.mapbender.org/

for a couple of examples. There are also Free tools for this:

  http://udig.refractions.net/
  http://geoserver.sourceforge.net/

I wonder if and how this relates to Google Earth.

[ox-en] Report: Public health, innovation and intellectual property rights


Hi!

Earlier this year the "Commission on Intellectual Property Rights,
Innovation and Public Health (CIPIH_)" founded by the WHO created a
report. From the FAQ_:

  6. What does the report say?

  Intellectual property rights are a general incentive provided by
  governments to promote innovation in all fields. In respect of
  public health, they are embedded in a set of other incentives which
  influence the pattern of innovation. They need to be looked at as
  part of a bigger picture.

  In particular, because the market demand for diagnostics, vaccines
  and medicines needed to address health problems mainly affecting
  developing countries is small and uncertain, the incentive effect of
  intellectual property rights may be limited or non-existent.

  Because intellectual property rights may not be an effective
  incentive in this area, there is a need for other incentives and
  financial mechanisms to be put in place and for collaborative
  efforts between different stakeholders.

  Without access to the products of innovation, there can be no public
  health benefits. Defining the conditions by which products can be
  accessed is therefore an important aspect of the report.

  There has been significant progress in recent years, in particular

It is part of a new P2P wiki thematic area on policy making, at

As usual, I'll add the proviso that any additional material and suggestions to enhance this resource are
more than welcome,

hi,

maybe this is also of interest:

FreeMedicalJournals
AkiStuttgart | RecentChanges | Preferences | Random Page

Free Medical Journals - Over the next years, many medical 
journals will be available online, free and in full-text. The access to 
free scientific knowledge will have a major impact on medical 
practice and attract Internet visitors to these journals. Journals that 
restrict access to their Web sites will lose popularity.

If you wish to be informed about new free journals, you may 
subscribe to our Journal Alert. The Free Medical Journals Site is 
dedicated to the promotion of free access to medical journals over 
the Internet.
