It is important for commoners to deliberate openly and share their individual knowledge widely in order to identify useful incremental steps that will be flexible, adaptive and appropriate over the long term. This can occur through general meetings, digital platforms that enable asynchronous deliberations, or stigmergic explorations and emulation. The point is to share insights with the group easily and widely so that wise collective choices can be identified and adopted. This includes choices about how to stint resource use and allocate benefits.
