Ti | = | Organi{s/z}ation of {df.CDL} |
1.sec | = | CommonAccord is a fundamentally decentrali{s/z}ed system. There is no need for a hub. The fit with decentrali{s/z}ed transacting platforms like blockchain is explored at Decentralized Law and the Blockchain. It is also light-weight. The current system is hosted on GitHub and presented via Heroku, for free, using accounts that anyone can open. The system can be installed privately by anyone, anywhere on a "LAMP" stack, or now on Docker. One can host files on any system, including Mediawiki. There is no technical need for a "center." |
2.sec | = | Law, however, is fundamentally social, and harmoni{s/z}ation of rules (codification) is one of its most ancient and effective methods. Some social and business problems require harmoni{s/z}ed solutions, and there is a large body of knowledge about legal codification and communities that do it well. |
3.sec | = | Accordingly, it seems useful to have an organi{s/z}ation, perhaps a "{df.CDL}," that will act as fiduciary for a {df.PDS} that is a set of materials for the global aspects of codification. This will be an assortment of legal forms, widgets, and software code, like the current site at commonaccord.org and github.com/commonaccord/Cmacc-Org. |
4.sec | = | As a starting point for discussion, the {df.CDL} should be not-for-profit, based in civil society (rather than government), very light-weight, focused on supporting the community of coders, both legal and software. The "Cmacc" format should be submitted to a technical standards procedure. When a new parser is written, it should also be subject to a formal codification. Most of the rest should remain a matter of free choice and competition. |
5.sec | = | The {df.CDL}'s budget will likely be from donations, though micropayments could be explored. |
