[sudo-hall] Institutional Membership for Common area

[Eddan Katz]

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.

This would also encourage the expansion of the network with participation from the multiple collaborative groups and their programs and activities.

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.
