Abstract
We reformulate the Poisson structure discovered by Fock and Rosly on moduli spaces of flat connections over marked surfaces in the framework of Poisson structures defined by Lie algebra actions and quasitriangular $r$-matrices, and we show that it is an example of a mixed product Poisson structure associated to pairs of Poisson actions, which were studied by J.-H. Lu and the author. The Fock-Rosly Poisson structure corresponds to the quasi-Poisson structure studied by Massuyeau, Turaev, Li-Bland, and Ševera under an equivalence of categories between Poisson and quasi-Poisson spaces.

Key words: flat connections; Poisson Lie groups; $r$-matrices; quasi-Poisson spaces.
