I brought that up to rebut those persons accusing me of distracting the cooperative from the all-important goal of set up at Peer1, which I think is highly unfair. That's all. I'm not going to pass the hat or demand consulting fees. I'm not going to condition my work or future efforts as a boardmember or co-op member on the passage of any particular initiative or policy. However I will say that the major reason I am doing all this is because we're a cooperative as opposed to merely a profit-seeking corporation, and as long as I have a say in the matter I'm going to make sure HCoop behaves like the former and not the latter. If you don't know what a cooperative is supposed to be like, a good starting place is SevenPrinciples on the wiki. -ntk _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
