First is a report on the performance of work as planned in DoW for WP1. Next is a presentation of research work developed including the synthesis of the main results, which is based on the triangulation of the results of the four researches conducted. Further developments are likewise included. As to the organization of the rest of the Deliverable, the first section provides the “Criteria of delimitation and typification of CBPP”. These criteria establish our common understanding of the CBPP phenomenon and define our unit of analysis. Executive summaries of theresearch developed as part of WP1 are also included as follows:Task 1.1 on the statistical analysis of CBPP cases, Task 1.2 on techno-legal analysis of cases based on decentralized infrastructure, Task 1.3 based on the digital ethnography of case studies, and Task 1.4 on participants survey. The annex includes the extended reports for each of these four areas of research. Methodological annexes are also provided in each research report. I. Report on Performance of work planned in DoW We have performed and completed the planned task as part of WP1 (see page 26 and 27 of DoW for a task description): The tasks planned were: Task 1.1 (UAB with input from UMIL, CNRS and UniS): Statistical analysis of a sample of 300 CBPP cases (1-11 months) Task 1.2 (CNRS with input from UCM, UniS and UAB): Technical analysis of CBPP software platforms (4-9 months) VII P2Pvalue Deliverable 1.2 Task 1.3 (UMIL): Digital Ethnography on value within CBPP (3-9 months) Task 1.4 (P2PF with input from UMIL and UAB): Survey of CBPP projects’ participants on value, rewards and institutional design (7-9 months) As planned, during the 11-14 months, we will complete Task 1.5 (UAB, UMIL, CNRS and P2PF): Selection of the case study communities and synthesis of theoretical findings (11-14 months). This Deliverable (1.3) provides a research report for each of these four research tasks. Deliverable 1.2 provides the design guidelines derived from them and Deliverable 1.1 provides the datasets generated. We have followed the presented plan in DoW and performed the described work. Two main relevant deviation from the work. On the one hand, we have done as much extended work building a directory of CBPP as expected. The P2Pvalue directory of CBPP (http://directory.p2pvalue.eu) was planned as a dataset of cases. However, we have given more functionalities and designed it as an open and collaborative research tool following CBPP principles. The reason for doing so was mainly functional. We considered it was easier to build a departing list of cases from which samples are drawn for the researchers. Additionally, the building of a CBPP resource as part of the research process has constituted a very interesting experience in order to rethink and apply the same knowledge emerging from the research on CBPP and to have insights from bringing them into practice. It is also an additional source for research dissemination. The methodological section of research report of Task 1.1 provide further explanation on how the directory has been used as a research tool. The other variation for the plan regards Task 1.2. and the techno-legal analysis. The plan for this task was to build the analysis over the statistical sample of 300 cases in Task 1.1. Instead of developing the techno-legal analysis over the 300 cases statistical sample based on any type of infrastructure, we conducted case studies based on decentralized infrastructure. The change was based on two main reasons: firstly, to deepen our knowledge on decentralized infrastructures. There are very viii P2Pvalue Deliverable 1.2 few case studies of online platforms relying on decentralized architectures and we need this knowledge in order to rethink the design of P2Pvalue platform as it is based on decentralized infrastructure. Case studies provide a deep analysis that we considered more useful in this regard. On the other hand, time was an important limitation. The changes in the WP1 calendar at the negotiation meeting (advancing the deliverables' deadlines) meant that the statistical analyses were going to be ready too late to be able to perform a deep techno-legal analysis in time for the deliverables. Time constraints were the main problem we have encountered throughout the development of the work. Initially, the tasks were going to be performed during 4 more months for Tasks 1.1-1.4. However, during the negotiation meeting, we agreed to shorten them in order to submit the Deliverable during the first project year. This became a serious problem as we had to work fast and under significant time pressure. For Task 1.5 (Selection of the case study communities and synthesis of theoretical findings), we have developed an initial triangulation of results between the several tasks, provided in the following section of this Executive summary. We have also completed a pre-selection of communities and contacted them. In the next months, we will further develop Task 1.5 to explore the triangulation of the results of the statistical analysis, techno-legal analysis, digital ethnography and participant surveys. Theory building will continue as part of WP2 and WP4. At the moment of presenting the deliverables, we have accomplished the agreed objectives for WP1 (see the following italic text with the presentation of WP1 objectives as presented in DoW). Presentation of WP1 objectives (as presented in DoW) Objectives To identify, frame and classify on-going CBPPs as a form of value creation and to identify the institutional and technical design features, value ix P2Pvalue Deliverable 1.2 metrics and reward mechanisms that favour CBPP value creation. More concretely, the objectives of WP1 are to: 1. Build and analyse a large sample of on-going CBPPs using Ostrom’s institutional and developmental framework to extract the conditions that favour value creation in CBPP. 2. Analyse systems of value metrics and rewards in CBPP communities through digital ethnography and a survey of participants. 3. Select the communities that will join the P2Pvalue platform in WP4. 4. Propose guidelines for institutional design, value metrics, reward mechanisms, and technical features to be considered in WP2 for the implementation of the P2Pvalue platform. Objectives 1 and 2 are reported in this Deliverable 1.3. Objective 4 is presented in Deliverable 1.2. on design guidelines derived from the research. Objective 3 has been developed and will be further developed as part of Task 1.5 in the final months of WP1 (until December 2014). In order to coordinate WP1, we held a three-day research seminar in Barcelona on January 2014.
