Objectives

Work with governmental institutions to recognize and legitimize the Fourth Sector. 

Description

People organize in open networks, using the Internet to communicate and coordinate actions on the ground. Open networks are not Coops, Nonprofits, or Inc-s, they don't have managers and bosses, don't operate out of head offices, they are creatures of the 4th Sector. 

Open networks are new channels for latent social potential, but face insurmountable institutional barriers. These new types of organizations have real impact but their structure and governance are not recognized by our institutions, as if they didn’t exist. Moreover, open networks need better interfaces with traditional institutions.

Governance

more on Governance page
VENTURES are COLLABORATIVE, TRANSPARENT (anyone has access to the information that they produce) and OPEN (anyone can participate). They only produce deliverables based on OPEN SOURCE technology. VENTURES have a CUSTODIAN that represents them legally and acts as a trust for their tangible assets. VENTURES can have multiple EXCHANGE FIRMS, which are commercial entities that move products and services developed by VENTURES on the MARKET. EXCHANGE FIRMS oblige themselves by contract with the CUSTODIAN to share PROFIT with all contributors to VENTURES, from which they commercialize PRODUCTS.
