So would appreciate if you could arrange it; would be much better if there is an indipendant and neutral domain name. If not possible I would suggest to have one since it is very crucial to open a neutral space for such work I believe.

> The 'common elements' of life on which the lives of all other humans and species depend can not be owned, in any means, by specific individuals, groups, or social classes nor can they be rented out temporarily, to be managed or runned for one's’ own benefit, thus for-proft.

> A childish approach, of "I found it, it is mine", has been dominating social relations and destroying the life in our planet, at least for the last 5000 years. It is time to grow up as humanity, as a global and planetary civilization and alter our collective 'id'. It is time to tame this underdeveloped part of us, under a healthy guidance of our collective social ego; while balancing the narcissism of our collective ego -that cries like "I will be the most powerful and everyone will respect/ fear from me"- with the pureness of our collective childishness. 
> 
> Inbalance in humanity's collective character and personality has been forming social structures that were in return driving endless profit and power accumulation seeking activities -mainly by the elite of the world, the in famous 1% but confirmed by middle classes too- for long enough. It is time to give an end to this immature behavior of our spicie, all together.

>> Thanks a lot for return Ellen, as far as i am aware there there were charter and declarations written using collaborative tools (knowledge commons) like wikis and open pads. In Spain, and during the occupations of squares. It is technically feasible and fun to join in. The result can be outstanding. I would include land, water, forest, beaches, money, knowledge, human-animal-plant genom, labour... (And all fictitious commodities) as chapters. That would be concrete, catalyzing and worthy effort. If you are interested we could start a sort of open work group and start with drafting a text, and invite others to work on it. Taking initiative is half way to finish :) we could do regular online meetings through the way, up till WsF session and present the current state of work, and invite more people to process in Montreal and go on working until it satisfy all Peer producers of the charter. I would say let's start the work!

>> Orsan, your suggestion to create a wiki for a charter and to discuss it at the WSF stuck with me. I’d love to see a conversation in Montreal centered around creating strategies to liberate nature through a bioregional approach with a responsibility to the whole. We could discuss the merits of the various ideas raised here and lots more that we haven’t yet touched on and identify pathways to make it happen.
