Subject: go dot coop

Message: 		 

 
One of the beauties of cooperatives is that they are locally controlled institutions.  This is a rarity in the business world today, and I believe one of the factors that has made coops so successfull.  However, as local institutions, coops have always had trouble developing a common identity that recognizable throughout the world.  A dot coop TDL would give coops around the world a shared space.  I think that one of the great powers of the web is that it creates its own sense of place/space/community. The problem is that this space is often without responsibility or accountability. Dot coop would create on the web a unified space for cooperatives who by nature create this accountability through local control.  I think that would be a great accomplishment for the web.
