Commoning is always contextual and admits no universal best practice.

Evidence

Commoning – the process of managing and reproducing the commons – can be practiced in many ways; there are endless ways to manage resources collectively and not for one person’s profit. There is no panacea for commons management. Processes that work well for one commoning community may not work at all for another, and what worked once may not be suitable after a while (Ostrom et al, 2007). Each commons is unique, with its own history, aims, membership and in-jokes. Commons are different because commoning is never a pure practice and is always contextual (Huron, 2015). Commoning practices are shaped by the specific historical, political and social contexts in which they are embedded (McCay, 2002), and different social groups will define costs and benefits differently (Sinner et al, 2022). — Yael Arbell, The Circle of Commoning, 6
