But I don’t want to comment on that here.
I just want to tell I’m just astonished on the similarity of the way Peter arrives “theoretically” to propose the ‘trust’ as a logical tool to take the next step in property-evolution and the “practical” way we came to see the trust as a tool to finally bring the land, we’re close to buy with a coöperative, into ‘eternal’ common property. In Belgium the property-“trust” (stichting) is new and indeed tailored for the wealthy families. Because we couldn’t find experienced juridical advisors on it, and maybe because it is already a big step for our financing-participants to finance a co-ownership of land, we will work in a first stage with a coop. This juridical form is not really tailored for our new design of land-stewardship we call “Bright–Futures”, because we want to limit the ‘overhead’-collective activity to minimum, and rather create space for coöperation of enterpreneurial stewards/prosumers. (While for our activitity with complementary currency, we will have to ad a ‘vzw’ – non-profit association)
