[governance] Considering a Common Pool Resource Approach to City-TLDs

[Thomas Lowenhaupt]

It's been suggested that city-TLDs, such as .nyc, .london, .mumbai, and 
.paris, are "open greenfields for new local governance structures." And 
that they would most effectively serve the public interest if developed 
as digital commons.

How do we advance the idea that city-TLDs - and especially .nyc - are 
best developed as public interest resources?

David Bollier, an important voice for the commons - http://bollier.org/ 
- joins us at our weekly Tea and TLDs conference to imagine a governance 
structure that best assures a city-TLD's equitable development and long 
term vitality.

Join us this Thursday from 10-11 AM at our Google Hangout - 
http://bit.ly/NYCTLD -- for the conversation. If you can't make it, look 
to our blog -- http://bit.ly/OurBlog -- for a recording.

Best,

Tom Lowenhaupt
