There is absolutely something wrong with the renter/property owner relationship because this is one of the defining features of capitalism. The property owner has all power (particularly in the UK where I am based), and the renter is completely disempowered. Hosting dissolves this relationship of exploitation, and while it doesn't take property ownership out of the equation, it is a form of property sharing, and is quite genuinely aligned with many of the peer to peer principles.

I work as a host at The Hub London (<a href="http://www.the-hub.net">www.the-hub.net</a>) and am interested in developing this exciting role further with others in this forum.<br />
<br />
At The Hub I have the role of setting the culture and 'delivering' The Hub Experience within a hosting team.<br />
<br />
Hosting to me is cultivating the conditions for meaningful encounters, conversations, collaborations and innovation.<br />

At The Hub I have the role of setting the culture and 'delivering' The Hub Experience within a hosting team.<br />
<br />
Hosting to me is cultivating the conditions for meaningful encounters, conversations, collaborations and innovation.<br />
<br />
Personally I got very inspired by Ivan Illich's De-schooling society and Michel Bauwens visit to us in November 2007.<br />
<br />
According to Illich, the new educational forms - beyond schooling - would benefit from peole (he didn't give them a name) who would have this role:<br />
<br />
- help people find the path to reach their own objectives faster<br />
- facilitate encounters between people and with models<br />
- putting ourselves and other people out of the way if we are not needed<br />
- create services<br />
- advice, assess<br />
- advice on methods for peer learning<br />
- advice on other learning sources, places, people, books<br />
- support people's initiatives and initiate some themselves<br />
<br />
This is what hosting means to me.<br />
