You seem to have referenced the whole mailing list. Not sure that would be
helpful to someone interested in reading your proposal.

Maybe that is the problem; the principles may not be as helpful in this
situation especially as they are written by an individual. Since you wrote
the principles, it will be quite logical for you to also provide at least a
rough hypothesis of the "HOW"

There are quite a number of thinking globally but acting local initiative
existing out there...typical examples includes the IXes, RENs, tech Hubs
etc. However there is a basic fact - which is that there is always some
level of cost associated, so the word "free" is relative and its not
something that can be applicable to technology literal manner simply
because technology is not a natural resource.

Cheers!
