[sudo-hall] Institutional Membership for Common area

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.
