Cohousing-L Mailing List: What's a member, and what's an adult?

[Maggi Rohde (maggi]

We at Touchstone in Ann Arbor are having a conversation about what 
constitutes a member and what constitutes an adult for the purposes of 
our work agreement.  Some people think we should include kids as young 
as 13 in our work agreement; others think it should be the purview of 
the parents.  Some think we should name households rather than members 
as the units of work, and allow them to divide it up however the 
household thinks is fair.

What did your group decide about who is required (or encouraged) to do 
work?

Oh, also, what about renters or other long-term visitors?

Thanks!
