As some of the earlier mails pointed out, there will be tremendous

Precisely. Without which I cant see anything defined.

Money IS a very tangibile and measurable commodity. The services ride
on the tangible commodity and the service value is linked to the
value of the money. Ditto every other type of exchange.
Besides co-operatives deal with goods, rather
than services.
??? Where did you get that from? There are hundreds if not
thousands of cooperative banks in India. ICH is a restaurant chain
run by a cooperative.
Yet to see a restaurant that lets you pick the cook, menu and waiters.
Restaurants sell you a very fixed set of goods. The service is a
differenctiator.
Look at the number of CHS in Mumbai - what
goods do they deal in?
None. They dont sell anything at all. They provide a service to the
members only. In contrast you are proposing to deliver to the
customer a very "vaguely" defined service.
Consequently it is relatively simple to account.
Didn't get what you meant here. You mean to say that dealing in
"goods" is simpler for CAs to manage? If yes, in what way? A model which bears some resemblance to the
proposal is temp
staffing.
That is an operational model. The question is what legal entity
Has to be a commercial entity. Wether Cooperative or a limited
liability company is a matter of idealogy and convienence.
I am quite convinced that some umbrella entity is neccessary. But I am
not very convinced that the operational details are even broadly
oulined by anyone at all.
