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.
