23 | To Community | To Community is a collection of research projects related to collective financing and alternative governance options for companies, especially early-stage technology startups and other companies trying to scale in audience or impact. Our research methodology focuses on building out a set of practical options and mapping incentives for selecting those options (so forms of political economy), rather than on quantitative outcomes or qualitative case studies. In particular, we aim to produce a set of legal and institutional mechanisms for collective intelligence (whether via financing, governance, or other means) for the building of emerging tech. | No updates. | Divya Siddarth, Joshua Tan, Patrick Shafto | Josh Tan, Luke Miller, Divya Siddarth, Raymond Cheng | Josh Tan | π§ Email Josh Tan | Slack: #to-community | Formal Working Group | 22 | recNQLicMZG7Zj7Js | Needs-updating | ||||||||||||||||||

25 | Clause2Game | Informal | Substantial work in contract theory applies game theory to analyze the design of contracts. This work tends to model the incentive effects of specific clauses or conditions, e.g. a managerial compensation clause or the condition that contracts are incomplete. Contract theory typically does not model whole contracts composed of many clauses due to the practical limitations of hand-built models, nor does it address the institutional diversity found in real-life contracts in the way that, for example, computational law does. In this work, we present a software tool, Clause2Game, that extends contract theory to whole-contract analysis as well as the results of an active implementation of the tool on top of Lawgood, a widely-available platform for drafting contracts. The core of the tool is a new data set of clause-level βopen games'' that can be composed to generate economic models in the same way that clauses can be composed to generate contracts. In presenting the tool and data set, we emphasize a systems-theoretic, building-blocks approach to contract analysis and design, and discuss the opportunities and obstacles to introducing more ideas from systems theory to both contract theory and the practice of contract law. | Not currently looking for additional collaborators: but always interested in feedback. | Joshua Tan | Tool, Publication, Data Set | Informal Working Group | 24 | rec8mtUTV96VOZq8D | Needs-updating | ||||||||||||||||||||

Itβs decentralized β there is no concentration of power. Itβs autonomous β itβs governed by the participants rather than some third party.

The term generative identity is used to refer to research and thinking and designs that prioritise psychological, sociological, and ecological health in their approach to digital identity. https://generative-identity.org/ | Specialists in Psychology / Sociology / Ecology / Cultural Studies: Any and all disciplinary insights into how identity operates in the world: psychology, sociology, ecology, cultural studies, etc. | Philip Sheldrake | Research and Development | Informal Working Group | 29 | recPkVxiLzjC2Br8j | Needs-updating | ||||||||||||||||||||

34 | SustainOSS Governance Guide | Informal | We hope these Principles for Governing Open Source Commons can help open source software communities (as well as communities that produce other digital commons) to cope with the dilemmas that come with growth and other changes over time.
