The first section of the chart paper identifies three types of stakeholders; actors, re-actors, and platform support.

Actors are those that have direct impact on the system, they are producers, consumers and matchers. Supply and demand is central to the interaction between these stakeholders.

Re-Actors measure different aspects of the system, they consume information and data. Re-actors include individuals who measure success criteria, monitors, funders and investors, policy makers, evaluators and marketers.

Platform Support includes owners, platform operators and SP2ers.

Next, a diagram illustrates the relationship between producers, consumers and matchers. Producers create products and services for consumers, matchers match consumers with producers.

Notes:

  • How do we avoid a system that imposes limiting distinctions and definitions such as forcing a member to define themselves as a consumer, producer, etc.?

  • Want: flexibility to allow contributors modifications.

  • Some structure upfront

  • PULL market, demand drives supply.

An images shows an individual with speech bubbles saying 'I have' and 'I want'.

A diagram arranges Producers, Consumers and Matchers in a circle with bi-directional arrows between each pair of stakeholders.

Stakeholder categories include:

  • individuals

  • organizations

  • government

  • funders

The last section of the chart paper sheet elaborates on the relationship between Producers, Consumers and Stakeholders, with arrows flowing from Producers and Consumers to Matchers.
