I recently found a couple of great posts on Shareable.net by Janelle Orsi about how greater sharing will need changes to the law. Lawyers will also need to develop the contacts and frameworks for many aspects of sharing. The first piece is called the birth of sharing law and examines the wide range of sharing initiatives [...] I was delighted to read about Caneus, which fosters international collaborative aerospace development, has a major project bringing together many countries to share space on satellites. They are using a fractional ownership model to manage the use of the satellite, with 50+ owners; this will need to be a well written contract. I think there is [...] A good friend of mine, Jackie Bryans, runs the Horse Rangers, a children’s charity based at Hampton Court in south west London. As my parents live nearby, I had heard about the Horse Rangers, but until recently didn’t know how they were run or that they are a charity. I don’t normally write [...] I had an email today from someone looking for house sitting opportunities in France. She asked if yours2share catered for this, which is doesn’t. Not knowing anything about housesitting, I went to have a quick look around and sure enough there are several specialist websites including: Mind My House House carers A couple of weeks ago I wrote about our couch surfing experience with Australians Jeff and Gerda. As we chatted over dinner, conversation turned, as it so often does when I’m around, to sharing and yours2share.

(According to Wikipedia, couch surfing is the practice of moving from one friend’s house to another, sleeping in what ever spare space is available, floor or couch, generally staying a few [...] About a month ago there was a great article in the Daily Mail discussing fractional ownership and private syndicates. Two yours2share members who share more than one major asset were interviewed: Graham Price shares a property and boat in France; and Bill Hosie shares a boat and an aircraft. This created a great deal of [...] Cheatneutral is a great thought provoking website with a terrific video. However trading cheating is not quite the same as trading carbon emissions. I’m no expert on this, but I thought carbon offsetting is rather like two friends that both heat their homes using oil fired central heating. They both agree they want to cut their [...] Following up from an earlier blog post about RelayRides, there is an interesting article in the Economist today about peer to peer car sharing. As well as RelayRides in the US, there is another operator WhipCar operating a similar peer to peer car rental service. I’ll have to try it out. And I had to [...] There was a great piece in Saturday’s Daily Mail about fractional living with a good mention of various sharing arrangements. Two yours2share members were interviewed and it explained how private syndicates work and the benefits. I couldn’t have written it better if I’d tried. Many thanks to the two members, Graham Price and Bill Hosie: to [...] |
