We don't want to "enforce" anything, as that requires assigning one or more people / an organization to be the "authority", and thereby "enforcing" something.

Please read Chris Messina's post about a "Community Mark".

It's your reputation: if you say you follow these principles, but can't prove it, you lose credibility. The idea here is to give people a trail of links and supporting "whuffie building" in self-defense. The badge is just a quick visual reference, it's not meant to be official.

I disagree. If someone with big $$$ starts promoting their executive suites as "coworking" in an area is will cause people in the area to associate coworking with executive suites and it could smother real coworking spaces
in the area.  That to me is "bad."

I agree in general.

This is 'current state' to some degree. Anyone can call themselves a
coworking place and join the Visa program.

If this goes ahead then how do we enforce it, if we want to do that.
We do not enforce the Visa program and to enforce means and entity of
some type. Rinse and repeat conversation of last two weeks :-)


PS Mike your posts are very hard to read as your replies are inline
and same indentation as the orginal.
