The literature about commons is now abundant, in particular in economy, sociology and more and more, in management. In this article, I try to shed light on a neglected issue: the organizational nature of commons in a connected world. Commons, in particular knowledge commons, have an organizationality. !ey are and need to be organized. !ey keep becoming more and more open, and experience speci#c organizing processes. But what is changed when individuals are institutionally connected far beyond the time-space of their activities? What is transformed in communalization processes by the hyperconnectivity of our technologies and our societies?
