Welcome to the ACS list
First post! ;)
You are receiving this email because you were an invited participant in the
Berkman Center for Internet & Society's Alternative Compensation Systems for
Digital Media workshop. I consider it an honor and privilege to have
participated with you in such an historic gathering.
As Terry Fisher mentioned on Friday there is a real desire to maintain our
dialog and momentum so we have created this new, focused email list:
acs@xxxxxxxxxxxx
We took the liberty of subscribing you to this new discussion list. If you
would rather not be subscribed or you would rather be subscribed under a
different address please contact me directly to make the adjustments.
At one point we considered conducting the discussions on the Pho list but
the 'tragedy of the commons' factor led us to create a new list dedicated
specifically to those who earnestly seek alternative compensation systems in
the face of P2P anarchy. The core group of subscribers, like yourself, are
able to post to the ACS list unmoderated. Others are welcome to subscribe
as well but their contributions will either be unmoderated or moderated by
myself and hopefully others on the list (any volunteers? please? ;) to
maintain focus. Those who do not wish to work towards alternative
compensation systems need not apply :) This structure is an experiment so
of course we can modify it at any time.
All messages to the list will have [acs] added to the subject line for your
filtering convenience.
A big shout of thanks goes out to David Ulevitch of www.everydns.com for
taking the time out from his busy final's week schedule to set up hosting
and administration for this list.
Again, it was a real thrill to share ideas with so many of you last week and
I look forward to our continued debates and discussions online.
