I’m excited about the potential of having a CoTech network co-ordinator

I think it’s important to keep commerce and the commons distinct\*, meaning that I think that client-facing tasks, commercial co-ordination and perhaps co-ordination around the gatherings would be a very welcome addition to the network

Recent collaborative efforts like the shared infrastructure, [propaganda working group](https://community.coops.tech/t/cotech-propaganda-wg/2800) and initially the newsletter have been kept out of contractural/exchange-based relationships, and they’re thriving. Of course facilitating these collaborations could be great as well, e.g. by giving prompts for people to contribute, but I’d like to clarify that we wouldn’t want to centralise the administration of these _other_ aspects of CoTech’s activity

\*Reading recommendation: [Free, Fair and Alive: The Power of the Commons](https://www.freefairandalive.org). This is a pattern rather than a rule
