Registered coops are limited-liability companies, and the legality of the bylaws
is tested by the registration process.  A member who is not on the board
cannot be liable for more than eir shares.

There is a treshold number of members such that a lower number makes the
members enterprisers, which has negative reprecussions on people who are
receiving unemployment benefits or are employed elsewhere, and a higher
number makes members simply investors or beneficiaries without a
connotation of enterpreneurism.
