The document discusses different types of online communities and proposes a way to bridge connections between organizations and these communities. It describes centralized communities with a central leadership and hierarchy, decentralized communities with members contributing equally from different websites and networks, and distributed communities where members share content across various online platforms. The proposal suggests designating community champions to facilitate two-way knowledge sharing and engagement between organizations and networks in a distributed manner according to each group's strategies.
