[cc_research] Comments and/or questions for CC research newcomers

[Miguel Yasuyuki Hirota]

     Hi all,

     It's quite nice to hear so many people's voices at this list.  I 
have some comments and/or questions for some of them and I'd be happy if 
you could answer.

     For Ahmed:  You said you want to implement a CC in your country, 
but it seems you aren't Malaysian as you said your first language is 
Arabic.  Which is your country of origen and/or your place to implement CCs?
     For Mark:  It seems to me that in U.S. private corporations are 
preferred as CC administrator, especially for B2B barter systems, while 
in Europe and Latin America they ten to be either non-profits (like 
Regio in Germany or Banco Palmas in Brazil) or cooperatives (such as the 
WIRBank in the Switzerland and some other initiatives in Central 
America).  What sort of implications can be found behind this difference?
     For Myriam:  Are you researging for the whole Canada or only in 
Quebec?  Probably it's interesting enough for you to visit Berkshare 
http://www.berkshare.org/ as it's quite close from your place, although 
in Massachusetts.
     For Fernando:  Congratulations for your initiative in Ecuador!! 
Could you tell me a bit more about your initiative there (either in 
Spanish or English)?
     For Ian:  Can you tell me where I can pick up more info about Noco 
Hours?
     For Laura:  this is what I'd really like to do, and Banco Palmas 
from Fortaleza, Brazil (http://www.bancopalmas.org.br ) is a good 
initiative for you to begin your research with.
     For Nongpun:  Wonderful, but can you depict shortly how they're 
going right now?  I'm eager to update my knowledge on Thailand I've 
never visited but have heard of a lot from Stephen.
     For Ken:  Have you already the book "The Ecology of Money" written 
by Richard Douthwaite?  You can get more inspiration from that work.

     Best regards,

     Miguel
