Now if Multistakeholderism is Elinor Ostrom style commons management,
can I please enlist as its enthusiastic supporter :)
But the sad fact is that MS-ism which we experience and are discussing
is not it at all anything close to commons style management- rather more
often quite to the contrary.
Let me give you a very handy example. Try proposing any commons
management stuff for the IGF program and see where it goes in the MAG -
the multistakeholder body. You may know that open source, open content,
A2K, community networks (also in the last MAG meeting) and such topics
have fared very badly in such MS environments. The whole basis,
principles and practises of commons management are very different. I
dont think it is at all fair to present high policy level MS-ism as we
experience around us today in terms of such commons management.
I took a look at Ostrom's framework of commons resource management
forwarded by Massit. The very first point deals with 'exclusion', and
she must have had a very ood reason to do it.
'Clearly defined boundaries (effective exclusion of external unentitled
parties)'
Is it then that a shareholder (and any proxy of his 'interests') from
hundreds/ thousands of miles away, who most likely doesnt even fully
know where and what for exactly his money is invested, is to be excluded
from 'governance mechanisms'. That is great. This makes the MS
framework - if still MS it is - very acceptable to me. But first let me
ask you, does this principle work to exclude large businesses organised
over global share capital from MS systems, since the interests of such
share capital has no real, embedded and 'live' interest in any 'issue'
at all, which seems to be the first requirement for participaiton in the
Ostrom's framework? If so, we are on the same page. I convert to being a
full supporter of MSism.
Also, Ostrom's system has a strong place for commonly evolved rules. I
have never been able to understand how an MS system - the kinds that get
spoken of on this list - ever develops any rules at all. Would also like
to know more in this regard.
