>> I want to add to the section on "*Work Plan Item #2: Shared collective
>> Communication spaces" *to include Free, Libre, and Open Source Software
>> spaces of organizing and support for the global movement we call "the
>> Internet". Within this I think could be argued the very important
>> movements of Free Culture (anti-Intellectual Property, creative commons)
>> and (inter)Net Neutrality, mobile networks/infrastructure.
>>
>> The final part of the plan is perhaps very lacking in its political
>> vision. There is a mention of work that is to be done specifically,
>> mostly to support other parts of the plan, but makes no mention of the
>> approach to the work or to generate a strategy of creating space for
>> future infrastructure work. Of course I think this is naturally the case
>> because we don't have many participants in this area of work and there
>> has been no visioning session for a group of people to lead this work. I
>> would be much more satisfied if a goal were present of creating policies
>> and principles relating
>> users/participants/organizations/facilitators/techies with their data
>> and control of their online experience.
>>
>> And finally, as a non-expert, I will humbly offer the this perspective:
>> On the mainstream media question, I think it best to deprecate this
>> function of the Com Com in the case where we are building up the
>> mainstream press. Alternative media coverage and response to the
>> mainstream should be our goal, in order to build up our alternatives.
>> But engaging and fueling mainstream avenues of information seems to be
>> counter to THE goal of "building alternatives".
>>
>> You have done a brilliant job, everyone. I look forward to talking more
>> about this plan on Wednesday afternoon!
