About the Metagov Standardization ProjectIn order to coordinate the actions in support of the goals of the standardization effort, the forming of an official subsidiary project of Metagovernment was proposed. This is the strategic plan for this project ... Since there exist many open governance projects (see related projects), it has been proposed to define a collaborative governance standard in order to enable the exchange of data between all those projects. http://www.metagovernment.org/wiki/Related_projects We do not see a unified, singular global project as a good idea: the existence of multiple projects allows the exploration of different approaches to find the yet unknown solution to the creation of a collaborative governance system. Competitive and/or cooperative interaction between projects with the same goal seems the best strategy for answering this problem. To let the interaction happen, we think about settling the projects in a common ground the standard, so they can interrelate with each other.
