NetSquared.org Mission is to spur responsible adoption of social web tools by social
benefit organizations. There's a whole new generation of online tools available – tools that
make it easier than ever before to collaborate, share information and mobilize support. These
tools include blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, podcasting, and more. Some people describe them as
"Web 2.0"; we call them the social web, because their power comes from the relationships they
enable. Web: http://www.netsquared.org/ [05 Mar 2008]
Network of Bay Area Worker Cooperatives (NoBAWC) NoBAWC (pronounced "no
boss") is a grassroots organization of democratic workplaces dedicated to building workplace
democracy in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. As the name implies, NoBAWC is
comprised primarily of worker cooperatives. A worker cooperative is an enterprise that
produces goods, distributes goods and/or provides services and is owned and controlled by its
worker-owners. Ownership of a worker cooperative is vested solely with the worker-owners on
an equal basis. Moreover, worker-owners control the resources of the cooperative and the work
process. Each worker-owner has equal decision-making power and ultimate authority rests
with the worker-owners as a whole. Worker control can be exercised directly or indirectly by
worker-owners. If exercised indirectly, members of representative decision-making bodies (e.g.
a Board of Directors) must be elected by the worker-owners and be subject to removal by the
worker-owners. Address: POBox 24953, Oakland CA 94623 Voice: (510) 835-0254
