thanks Robin ...
in theory, a B Corporation is not such a bad thing, no, as it is and remains dedicated to a social good?
I don't know. I haven't researched much into this B-corp thing. In the end though, it is still a corp. and this is why many CS-members currently are pissed off. For many (not everyone), it goes against the culture that CS stands for. The culture is about sharing, not profit. I wrote a little comment here explaining that culture: http://shareable.net/blog/the-rise-of-the-not-just-for-profit#comments It's a shame that Casey never was really serious about non-profit and developing community-models of doing it together. He just did whatever felt easiest, listening to advisers who were closest to him, and unfortunately they were not really what you may call post-capitalists. But that's o.k. I think it is good that CS finally has become more explicit about what they really are about. So we can move on now and they can have their game.
