Following the last CoTech gathering in London there is a proposal to:

> To establish an internal money-time fund, a one-year pilot project.
> 
> **£1 a week or an hour of work each month per member.** You can contribute more money or/and work voluntarily.
> 
> Each co-op contributes on behalf of its members.
> 
> [CoTech Fund](https://www.loomio.org/d/7Qd8zmRW/cotech-fund)

Unless there are objections here or at our next committee meeting I’ll cast a vote in favour — it is a good idea and we host and maintain a fair amount of infrastructure for CoTech for which we are not paid (a [Discourse server](https://community.coops.tech/), a [Nextcloud server](https://office.cops.tech/) and [the wiki](https://wiki.coops.tech/) and the [web site](https://www.coops.tech/) and [development version of the web site](https://dev.coops.tech), the [survey site](https://survey.coops.tech), the [contact email list](https://www.email-lists.org/mailman/listinfo/tech-coops-contact), the email aliases and we also are the legal owners and have paid for the domain name, `coops.tech`) — if there are some CoTech funds perhaps some of them can be used towards these things. Of course there are many other co-ops in the network who have contributed large amounts of time and money, we are not an exception in this regard.
