Structure

The digital commons is shared infrastructure sustained by the people who use it. 

Basic services are free and always will be, but many enterprises subscribe to support the commons. Networks have invested in new functionality that benefits everyone.

The current focus is on transitioning to an open protocol so participants can share their information across platforms and access new opportunities.

Good Market followed a lean startup approach. It began in Sri Lanka in 2012 with no grant funding or external working capital.

The curation process and community were initially developed through weekly marketplace events, retail outlets, and an organic participatory guarantee system (PGS). These social enterprises made it possible to start software development for the global digital commons in 2016.
