Another, and possibly more appealing prospect is to try to get a whole bunch of groups,
not necessarily to move their offices to 2135 Broadway, but just use those facilities that
their current locations do not permit in terms of size and location.
From some of the responses I've been getting, I don't think it would be very hard
to get 65 groups to go in $100 month for clean and managed use of all the rooms on the
floor for their different purposes.

Another thing we talked about with Oakland Digital was
the advantage of being able to manage the common area.
Peer Production would sub-lease the individual rooms to the groups/companies at
proportionally lower rates and create a layer of institutional membership that could help
offset costs and facilitate responsible use of the common area.
For example, if the individual rents for entities collecting together that want to be
tenants in specific rooms were reduced by some 15-30%, institutional membership for
organizations wanting to use the common area but not interested in being tenants could
collectively pay for that percentage reduction. This would also encourage the expansion of
the network with participation from the multiple collaborative groups and their programs
and activities.
Institutional membership also allows for individual people to share the risks and burdens
of monthly dues within a sub-group cluster. In other words, if one person can't pay
that month, but is active and contributing, that person's contribution and
participation could be covered through their affiliated organization.
