Issues

Cultural and language differences

Scaling

Responses vary from support or benign neglect to outright opposition from government or other groups

Access to ICT, information and other resources

How to start small but merge into larger units - homogenous or federated or ???

Articulation with existing efforts, civil society organizations, governments,etc

How to ensure that current power doesn't just take this over also?
