The Integrated Cooperative Network
The integrated.coop, and integrate.coop, are the domains that will support the ICN.
provide.coop is to be used as the site which develops the ecosystem, and provide.io is to be used as the site which the member-owners of the ICN will primarily engage with.
The ICN Architecture
The Integrated Cooperative Network is designed to be the non-profit entity that facilitates the sourcing, and distribution, of resources to the local-businesses that provide.io incubates.
The ICN is being designed centralized/decentralized polycentric network, which isbeing architected, from the ground up, to develop, and support, efficient polycentric governance systems.
The below is a simplified "flat" diagram of some of the core Cells, and Cellular Ventures. This architecture is not necessarily representative of what the ICN will resemble when it's launched.
