In his book "Spiritual Polyamory," Mystic Life writes:
"The following describes a vision of polyamorous community and ideas related
to living effectively in this community:
People can feel more deeply secure in love that has no restrictions or conditions.
Sex is utilized for contact, expression of love, healing, relaxation, etc.
People do not own each other in any manner.
The purpose of this community is healing, personal evolution, and modeling a
non-competitive way of living.
There is no hierarchy of importance amongst members of this community or
between this community and others.
If you have children, both they and you may benefit from being raised by a community
as opposed to two parents who live with the children (which often eventually leads to
one parent living with the children if the parents separate). A community setting can
benefit a child due to its diversity, and benefit the adults by allowing them the
continuation of time for self-development."

Re: A Vision of Polyamorous Community
Tue, June 2, 2009 - 8:14 PMIs the author speaking of a community as a network of people or as a literal physical community - town, hamlet, or commune?
This by and large describes the way that we live (in our intentional community), as a group we don't have the purposes you stated, but many individuals do. Just celebrated our 40th anniversary as a group.
