− | + | The issue of the openness of [[RBEM Implementation Projects|RBEM implementation projects]] is mainly relevant for the [[Bottom-Up Implementation of a Resource-Based Economy|bottom-up]] approach of implementing a Resource-Based Economy, though it might also be of relevance for specific experiments of [[Top-Down Implementation of a Resource-Based Economy|top-down]] approaches. The issue involves the following questions: | |

This way required resources can be purchased, if the project produces excess resources.

− | People enjoy maximum freedom. They can use any economic system at any time. It must be defined which resources belong to the project and can be used by anyone and for which resources an individual has exclusive rights. It must also be defined which actions of an individual are devoted to the project and which are not.

It must also be defined which actions of an individual are devoted to the project and which are not. This model requires a more complex [[Constitution for RBEM Implementation Projects|set of rules]], but it also attracts people to be involved in the project that do not want to much of their freedom and comforts, even if it is only temporarily. People can take advantage of RBE gradually. However, it has to be evaluated how fast people would adapt to RBE, or if they would adapt at all. |

It is proposed that the key function for the evaluation is the total participation in RBE in relation to time, i.e. the growth function. The total participation is not necessarily equal to the number of participants. In some models partial participation is possible. There are different characteristics that are worth investigating considering the growth function of a RBE: e.g. time when RBE will become the major social system of a country or of the world, time when it is possible for an average person to change to RBE without renouncing anything important. | It is proposed that the key function for the evaluation is the total participation in RBE in relation to time, i.e. the growth function.
