The Consortium will be supported by a Stakeholder Board. It will include representatives from the main actors in the CBPP field, including universities (e.g. Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Access to Knowledge for Development Center of American University of Cairo, Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies of Warwick University), major nonprofits (e.g. Creative Commons, Wikimedia, La Quadrature du Net, International Association for the Study of the Commons), SMEs (e.g. Sensorica, OpenPicus, Goteo, Shareable, Dyne), large industry actors (e.g. France Telecom), and others of similar stature yet to be invited. Initially it consists of 16 members from 12 countries, as listed in Table 2.2.
The role of the members of the Stakeholder Board will be twofold:
- to represent the ‘users’ of the platform, both individual and collective, in helping to design and in commenting on the development of the platform
- to act as “ambassadors” for the project, reaching out to their communities, professional colleagues and the media on behalf of the project.

Panayotis Antoniadis

Panayotis Antoniadis is a senior researcher at ETH Zurich. He has an interdisciplinary profile with background on the design and implementation of distributed systems (Computer Science Department, University of Crete), Ph.D. on the economics of peer-to-peer networks (Athens University of Economics and Business), post-doc on policies for the federation of shared virtualized infrastructures (UPMC Sorbonne Universités), and an on-going collaboration with urban planners on the role of information and communication technologies for bridging the virtual with the physical space in cities (project nethood.org). With the partial support of the EU Network of Excellence on Internet Science (EINS), Panayotis is currently active in the organization of various interdisciplinary events that aim to bring together researchers, practitioners, and activists from various fields around the participatory design of hybrid urban space with a focus on wireless and peer-to-peer technology. In this context, his personal conviction is that there is an urgent need for a global social learning framework, a toolkit, that will allow citizens to build local networks for supporting local interactions, and claim their right to the (hybrid) city. http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~pantonia/ |
