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.

I'll come back to the issues that Alex threw out a while back,
paraphrased. There are several issues/topics.
1.) Recapitalizing the domain purchase.
2.) Protecting the domain (likely in a trust.)
3.) Long term management of domain (maybe a co-op, non-profit,
simple LLC w/bylaws, or we can risk doing nothing.)
4.) Branding of "Coworking" so that we can promote it, help
others market the concept, and help the "average joe(sephine)" to
understand what it is and is not.
5.) Creating (some form of) an association that can provide
services to member orgs, like negotiate for collective
partnerships and discounts, etc.
6.) Running a conference (and I'd like this to be in the form of
a co-op, even if the co-op lasts only for the length of each
conference.)
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 #1-3, maybe 10-15 for 4&5, and
another 10-15 for #6. Some people will be in all three groups, or
just one. Totally voluntary. Each group will grow organically or
just exist for that one project.
I like it, but have a question: would 4+5 get to use the domain in
1+2+3? Something to consider...
