Why not starting it today? ;-) What do we need to start it?
A moderator / a team of moderators for each continent?
What else?

Yes - basically create coworking-europe, coworking-africa,
coworking-northamerica, etc groups.
They'd each have their own subscriber base and their own moderators.
It's a LITTLE clunky because you'd have to manage multiple
subscriptions, but so long as all of the groups run basically the same
join/moderation policies it'd be pretty easy.
And of course if it doesn't work, we can kill off the "dead" groups
and let the growing ones thrive.

@Alex: Do you mean continental & country groups for the mailing list?
I would support it.
Could be a strong accelerator.
I'm interested to include not only the classical coworking regions.

I love what Anni has done with the continental Coworking groups on
Facebook and that she's taken the reigns.
Part of my vision for http://discuss.coworking.com is a similar
effort for longform discussion, where we can "fake" sub-forums. I
can add additional google groups to the nav easily, so we could have
regional groups with their own moderation, etc, shown along side
this global and more general group. It's additive, not duplicative.
I'd need to know that the regional lists are going to be tended to
and not just left to rot - we all know that communities need
gardening - but I'd love to accelerate and add more "sub-groups"
alongside this one on the Discuss site.
Thoughts?

Let's continue to weave global coworking networks ... :-)
There are so different ways to do it. Fascinating to observe this
process.
Best, Anni

Yes we do have a global organization and a very effective
"association". We all associate with the word "coworking". For
such a vastly diverse group of people this is more then enough.
This is beautiful. Our success in Seattle is amplified because
of our association with all of you. We express our appreciation
for this group by giving back in every way we can.
Can we collectively do more? Yes, but it can't be all in the same
direction. We have exploded on the world because we are going in
all directions, and quickly. It is also important to note that
there is more then enough energy in this movement to overcome any
need for efficiency.
We have many tools to work with and we can be most effective if we
use and appreciate each one for its strengths. Globally we are
bridging the connections between all of us. Locally we bond
together and get things done. We are united. We are Coworking.
Each one of us can take that home and set a damn good example of
what we *personally* believe that means.

I think we have a global organization already. I think we need
more, as Anni says, networking.
I also think that we should have, as Alex says, a europe-centered
coworking group, as part of the Global group. The closest we
have so far is a Facebook group. Which is a good start, but we
can do better than that.
I would also like to see much more from Asia: but Asia is also an
entire continent with many languages and cultures and so forth to
contend with.
In the US, they don't have language issues and so forth to
contend with, at least not on the same scale. So it all goes
easier, there is more interation, more gets done faster. This
means we have to have some more effort from our side. Not to
separate; but to bring together in its fullness.
That's my goal, anyway.

It looks nice, but there is not any location listed in europe.
I think we should make our own global association with coworking
philosophy and that means that the association has to be born
from the differents coworkings countries community.
Not just USA
I think a great step to make it possible, its starting talking
with those who are reference in their own countries and make
this association possible with all this people.
