-Describe a commons in Ostrum language here...
+A commons is some piece of the physical world that is managed by a community for the benefit of that community. A commons can be a shared resource that community members share time using in turn. A commons can also manage a consumed resource that is allocated to community members according to the agreements of the community. A community member that receives something from a commons is an "appropriator".
 
-Describe how is a commons managed here...
+A commons can be managed in a very large variety of ways. Members create the rules that are used to govern their own commons. Some commons are more and less stable over time, depending on what rules the community chooses to adopt.

+Consensus is a process where everyone should be able to weigh in equally on a decision, and no one should be bound by a decision they detest. This boils doing in practice to: Everyone who feels they have (something relevant to the commons) to say about a proposal ought to have their perspectives carefully considered. When making decision for the commons, every member should have the right to participate equally.

+A consensus meeting needs some structure to function. When running a meeting there are some roles that need to be filled. Someone needs to act as the facilitator. A facilitator keeps the notes on the meeting and keeps the current version of the proposal. Their role is to ensure that the proposals and objections are recorded accurately. A time keeper is needed to ensure that the agreed upon time limit for speaking is adhered to. Someone should also be keeping track of hands raised to keep the order of the discussion. If just one person is available, they could fulfill these roles themselves, but if the task is shared, then that is preferable.

 Within a Commons, once the external entity has been assigned Private Property rights within the law, then that "bubble" can ascribe the rights according to its own rules. The commons can allocate areas of the pieces of the physical world that it manages (the clearly defined boundaries). The allocations can be for consumed aspects (the increase), it can be to assign use terms (Usufruct), and it can determine to what degree exclusion and destruction are used within the commons.
