|

2. Match rules governing use of common goods to local needs and conditions.

4. Make sure the rule-making rights of community members are respected by outside authorities.
|
||
5. Develop a system, carried out by community members, for monitoring members’ behavior.
|
||
6. Use graduated sanctions for rule violators.
|
||
7. Provide accessible, low-cost means for dispute resolution.
