Obviously there's a story there.

Yeah, +1. There's a place for insurance and paranoia and lawyers, but if
that becomes the primary motivation we simply cannot act in a clearheaded
fashion.
Clear motives and action first, protection second.
Agreed, the Phil Howard TED talk is awesome.

Sorry...but this is ridiculous.
There are billions of domains owned by people who aren't sued. I own 50 with

I own a domain which is valued at $900,000. That's really nothing - the

I haven't had time to keep up with the whole discussion since the domain

Let's continue to positively move ahead.

Good question. I think 4&5 could use 1-3 if either
A. everyone in 4&5 is part of 1-3
B. 1-3 grants 4&5 the right/license to use the domain.

Seems like we could do a couple of things:
1, 2, & 3. BASIC legal entity to manage the domain
4 & 5. A separate org consisting of some of the coworking operators/
advocates that address these two issues.
6. Yet another org to address this issue.
Therefore, say, 100 people join
I'll come back to the issues that Alex threw out a while back, paraphrased.
There are several issues/topics.

2.) Protecting the domain (likely in a trust.)
