Good thoughts Rob. I believe that the main challenge for LENR Cities will be to provide substantial innovation of its own. Experience from the IT industry tells us that in order to grow a successful eco-system where talented people will contribute, you need to offer attractive innovation for others to build upon, e.g. Windows, IOS/iPhone/iPad, Android (the counter example is Nokia/Symbian that was not good enough). Just to offer a network will not do, if you want to produce revenue from you eco-system.
And even if you don’t plan for profit you need to offer innovation – e.g. Wikipedia (the idea + the wiki tool), Linux (the Linux kernel by Torvalds et al). This would correspond to the part that you mention will be shared openly by those who do not care about IP. Maybe enthusiasm could do initially, but sooner or later you probably have to offer something substantial to build upon, to attract people. Yet, I think that the structures you suggest are spot-on, and the idea to look at other community projects is good. 3D printers and drones are examples of communities that are more loosely held together, and yet they have information sharing.

Mats, some thoughts: Maybe the guys from LENR-cities have some ideas. They promote an open IP structure, although not well defined yet. I've asked for more details, but they probably are lacking time in detailling this out for the moment. Part of valuable ideas will probably be converted into patent applications as well by individuals. Those inventors may want to promote their ideas as soon as their ideas are secured. The other part will be shared openly by those who do not care about IP. Collecting and stucturing ideas also require serious moderation to keep a certain professional level. I've been thinking of several places to moderate professional engineering ideas: - meetup groups - moderated LinkedIn groups - dedicated e-mail reflectors I see several sub-groups that handle following activities: - a think tank that defines engeneering topics and brainstorms about solutions - a review team that reviews proposed engineering ideas - a feasibility team that is able to prototype (e.g. MFMP) - F2F meetings in several regions. Another approach: Are there similar global cooperation projects that can be used to piggy back on? - How is the 3D printing society organized? - How is the Drone society organized? - Cooperate with FabLabs that facilitate tooling? - Other global cooperation activities that have usefull ways of working ?

Frank Acland made an initiative with a kind of Wiki: http://kb.e-catworld.com/index.php?title=E-Cat_World_LENR_Knowledge_Base , but I don’t know if it has any chance of being used for this kind of flow of ideas. Probably the gathering of information should be automated with text analysis. Comments? Mats Mats www.animpossibleinvention.com<http://www.animpossibleinvention.com>
