copying this code and making a preview at a Wikimedia foundation wiki ...

both variants will work; please tray to find out what Tidy is; where you can download ond how you can install it; I never operated a wiki myself but I did a lot of tests; I understand that Tidy is a kind of wizzard correcting HTML code / generating errorfree HTML code

note: commons:wikt:yi:user:Gangleri/tests/bugzilla#test wiki's lists a lot of test wikies; if you make a preview at [1] you will see that there the behaviour is the same as here; please do not get angry; I was searching the answer for months

Good luck! You can reach me on the IRC-channel #wiktionary or skype me 'irelgnag'. Best regards Gangleri 13:04, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Genomics and Justice - 2007-05-18

What is important and want to carry forward from session to session

What are important but need to be backgrounded

what do we know

Morning session, 09:30

Participatory forms

What are the underlying concepts of Justice when a particular "performance" is seen in a public forum. Can you perhaps have a philosophical advisory team on the side to provide a checks and balance function and provide advice to questions of justice as they come up in a research situation.

Example from Tuscan Italy experience, don't mince words when asking for samples, make it clear that samples are needed to help with the research. Offer an exchange of something valuable for the samples. Doesn't do much good to try and promote some kind of community wide involvement as if you were passing off responsibility to that "group". The researcher has to have enough guts to realize they will continue to have the responsibility no matter how much the group has been informed about the research.

Property

Public domain, collective commons. Copyleft. Foster innovation in complete openness by doing innovation in public. Against what do we need to secure the open access for this new set of biological information. "Creative commons is not communism." Illicit copies. The "generic" can only exist if the private patented item exists. Given definitional terms, it is only possible to have public domain commons if and only if there exists a private domain for that same business.

Patent system - one mechanism of answering the question of how to get innovation to happen. This avoids the problem of how do these innovations become applied to the actual problems that exist.

The benefits of the public domain. It can solve problems that markets do not care about. For example the knowledge of smoking is dangerous, was in the public domain in the 1950s and was alleviated by behavioral changes. Penicillin development has an interesting history. Interesting problems can be solved efficiently by taking public domain knowledge, turning it into a private resource which then makes it valuable and will become available.

Groups without power have notions of identity and property that need to be protected when external forces walk in and have different ideas of identity and property.

Sovereignty

Aboriginal title, rights of occupancy, what native peoples have. What is present in native culture, definitions, meanings, stories, how do they fit into the structures being imposed upon them. DNA on "loan" contracts.
