@ Steven Heath: Yeah, I thought that was the case, but couldn't find
them. I used other people's versions to create mine, too, but wasn't
sure whether I collected them from visits and this group's emails or
from the wiki. Anyway, if you find them again, let me know and I'll
integrate them with the new wiki page.

[Coworking] Re: Sample membership agreements?

2011-08-04 Thread Will Bennis
Hi All,

I was surprised to hear there isn't a link to membership agreements on
the wiki since this topic--along with requests for member rules,
business plans, and other professional business documents--has come up
repeatedly off an on over the years. There is a page for business
plans, but there's only one business plan listed. So...

I just created a new page where coworking space owners can share their
(or other spaces', if they've approved it) business plans, membership
applications / agreements / contracts, member rules, etc. It's linked
from the wiki homepage at the top of the Other Coworking Resources
section (which is at the very bottom of the page). The business plans
page that was there was incorporated into this page. Here's the direct
link: http://wiki.coworking.info/w/page/43988681/Professional%20Documents.
Have a look and feel free to improve on it!

Please add your professional business documents (you can upload files
and link to them, or just link directly to the webpages where they
exist). Or if they're publicly available and you feel in the mood, add
links to other peoples files that you think are paragon examples.

Best,
Will

The wiki used to have about a half dozen agreements. I know mine used to be

2008-03-27 Thread James McCarthy

I  popped a copy of ours which borrows heavily from independents hall  
and citizen space. I added a page that gives a clear lowdown on what  
coworking is all about (thanks Citizen space web site) and tweaked  
Alex's contract to suite a UK environment and to support the 3 options  
we are operating.

https://coworking.pbwiki.com/Licences-and-Agreements

I started a page there, hope it isn't messing up the wiki structure, I  
just couldn't work out where to post it. There are word and pages  
versions if anybody wants a copy in either format just drop me a note.

Cheers
