All, I'm all in favour of there being multiple groups or associations to help drive the coworking movement. But what I'm afraid of is the unnecessary duplication of effort that might occur because of this. If multiple groups are all doing exactly the same thing then it will take longer for us all to get closer to whatever the end goal is. There will clearly be localised or regional issues and these would clearly make sense to be dealt with a specific group. But for common issues I think we should probably try to deal with them together.
