@will thanks for this. I haven’t been able to put my frustration into words 
over the creation of the second list. You did it well and without saying fuck 
as many times as I would have.

What Will said...

Can someone please explain why there are two — and can something be done to 
integrate them?

Re: [Coworking] Coworking visa?

[Alex Linsker]

Hi Daniela, The coworking visa is hosted across at least 2 sites each with
its own governance and admins, for accountability and accessible viewing
options. https://coworkingvisa.net is another site you can add your venue
at. Participating coworking spaces at CoworkingVisa.net have seen an
increase in usage of the visa since we started a year ago. A
Spanish-speaking homepage is at https://coworkingvisa.net/es/ and if you'd
like to be involved in getting more venues involved, that'd be great. Alex

Re: [Coworking] Coworking visa

[rachel young]

Hi,

The visa isn't a thing you get, but rather a thing you do. If you have a
membership at your coworking space that is part of the program and plan to
travel, you can look on the list to see what other spaces in the city
you'll be travelling to that participate in the program and enjoy one or a
few days in their space. It's a handshake between the two spaces who want
to support our travelling members.

There is a list of participating spaces at
http://wiki.coworking.com/w/page/16583744/CoworkingVisa

and there was an article published just the other day about the visa
program:

Re: [Coworking] Coworking Visa Program Rules and Regulations

[Jacob Sayles]

The first paragraph at the top of the main visa page you linked to explains
how it works.  That's it!  It's specifically kept simple since this is such
a wide spread community.  Let our members into your space and we'll let
your members into our space.  Most people limit it to 3 days max but we've
not found we need to place limits on it here at Office Nomads.  We tell
people to contact the space they are visiting directly to see how they
handle it and report back with how it went.  Easy as pie.  Mmm... pie

 Hey everyone,
 We recently updated our website and decided to embed a google maps page of 
 other spaces that participate in the Coworking Visa program. We found that 
 a visual representation of coworking spaces globally generates a lot of 
 excitement for those that are brand new to coworking, especially our more 
 mobile members. The thought of being able to travel across the world, have 
 a desk waiting for you, and be able to connect to a local community of 
 likeminded people is a revolutionary idea, one that we should probably 
 promote more often.
 We used the info from the coworking wiki to generate the list of coworking 
 visa participants, but if your space is new or we missed adding your space, 
 please let us know and we'd love to add you onto the page:

Re: [Coworking] Coworking Visa - Take up levels and branding

[Jerome Chang]

Hi Andrew.

We discussed this at our coworking owners' weekend in October @BLANKSPACES SM.  
We all agreed that this visa would be great if better leveraged, etc.  However, 
a logo, a consistent brand, etc. all requires one collective group, an 
association, or similar.  And that's where we couldn't gather enough agreement 
to move forward.

Re: [Coworking] coworking visa suggestion

[Jacob Sayles]

Will,

The beauty of the Visa Program is it's simplicity.  The only structure is
the central listing.  Each space sets their own ground rules and is free to
meter and patrol as much or as little as they choose.  With that in mind,
there is no need to request this change.  Just be clear that this is how
you operate with your participation.  When a member from Office Nomads shows
up in Prague they will look you up and come say hello.  If you have any
questions regarding their membership, just ask us.  We'll do the same.

I've been wanting to go to Prague so maybe I'll be the first Nomad to make
the trip.

 Hi Folks,

 I was just talking to another space owner in Prague, and we agreed
 that there might be an easy way to improve the coworking visa program
 without much cost and with a great deal to gain.

 Speaking for myself, the main thing I'd want to change would be to
 make the default length longer than three days. Why not have the
 default be two weeks (or at least talk about what we think the ideal
 time period would be)? For myself at least the initial great appeal of
 the program loses *a lot* of its value when it becomes clear that it's
 only for three days. If I go somewhere for a week, that means that I
 have to buy a weekly membership or just not have a coworking space, or
 pay a lot of money for a week membership even if I'm surrounded by
 spaces that are visa members?

 Let me preface this with two points:

 First, this is not meant to be critical of the way it is now. The
 initial setup was clearly in large part successful because it was so
 simple and no one could argue with the terms. But now that it's an
 established success, it seems like it might not be a bad idea to think
 about how it might be improved.

 Second, I realize there are very large discrepancies in how much
 coworking spaces charge. People who regularly work in two cities could
 *potentially* work the system by buying the cheaper membership and
 using it to cowork on a regular basis at the more expensive location.
 But it seems to me that we could deal with this (probably rare event)
 pretty easily by just adding a few simple caveats:
 1) you must have a membership at a coworking space in a different city
 from the place you're using the visa.
 2) use of the space is contingent on space availability: local members
 get precedent.
 3) coworking space managers reserve the right to refuse service to
 members of other spaces who seem to be working the system.

 Thoughts?

 To me the knowledge that becoming a member of a coworking space in one
 city would allow me to travel, even for an extended period and to
 multiple places and work while on the road would add great value to a
 membership.
