-Contributions map individual assets. The main idea behind the [[OVN]] model is to allow individuals to invest with whatever they have, thus reducing the dependency on financial assets. This is the essence of '''commons-based peer production'''. Another way to see it, is that an OVN uses an IT infrastructure (OVNi) that integrates [[crowdsourcing]] functionality, including [[crowdfunding]]. We can say that almost everything is crowdesourced in the context of an [[OVN]].

-In a collaborative process we can have ''contributions'' and ''exchanges''. ''Working for'' a company, in a traditional setting, means that labor is exchanged for wages, thus the products of labor belong to the company. ''Working within'' an OVN means that labor is seen as part of a co-creation process, risk is shared, giving rights to future benefits (including revenue) generated for the lifetime of the [[venture]] or [[product]].

-:''There are three types of contributions: [[venture]]-contribution, [[project]]-contribution, network-contribution, and commons-contribution. Venture and project-contributions are those contributions that are applicable to the scope of the venture or project; the governance of these contributions is defined at the venture level. For instance, perishable or consumable materials could only be a part of the [[venture]]. Network-contributions are those contributions that are applicable to the scope of the network; the governance of these contributions is defined at the network level. For instance: a physical tool can be shared across [[ventures]]. Commons-contributions are those contributions that are applicable across networks; the governance of these contributions is defined at the global governance level. For instance: use of standards, legal framework and knowledge.''

		+	People are not automata. We allow ourselves to be programmed, we have that plasticity, but we also have the capability to modulate our plasticity. We are able to drive our own interactions. There is this idea that people are constantly changing, but they are afraid of change, we resist change or better, ignore the change, which is paradoxical. The framework of the industrial evolution wants to standardize humans, mold them into a set of skills, which can be commodified.
