 Cooperatives Information and Facts
A cooperative (also coöperative or co-operative or co-op) has been defined in the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) Statement on the Co-operative Identity as "an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise."
Co-operatives have been presented as an ideal organisational form for proponents of a number of socio-political philosophies, including Co-operative Individualism and Co-operative Federalism; such literature often cites the achievement of a Co-operative Commonwealth as an ultimate objective.
It is most prevalent in Switzerland (where the Mobility Car-Sharing cooperative has more than 50,000 clients), but is also common in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands, and is fast growing in popularity in other European countries, Asia and North America.

 Oregon Judicial Department Appellate Court Opinions
Rather, Beaver Creek's fundamental argument is that "cooperatives are not within the statutory provisions of ORS 759.020" and that, consequently, OAR 860-032-0010(4) and (5) depart from a legal standard expressed or implied in the statute being implemented.
Rather, it simply permits cooperatives providing intrastate telecommunications services as of January 1, 1986, to obtain a certificate of authority to "continue to provide those services," thus ensuring that cooperatives that cannot be categorized as either a "telecommunications utility" or a "competitive telecommunications services provider" can nevertheless obtain a certificate of authority from the PUC.
We thus conclude that cooperatives seeking to expand their services into the boundaries of the local exchanges of other telecommunications services providers are subject to the certification requirements of ORS 759.020.
