Is mailbox a correct answer?

I mean I guess why not use bikecollectives.org as the channel? Like a space/checkbox/description field/whatever set aside on every org's page?

So I guess the main step here would be a channel, hopefully a
consistent and sustainable one, where regional CBS's could signify
they have ready and arranged accommodations. The second thing would be
a way to use that or a similar channel to announce when they are
soliciting an exchange. In reverse that channel could be used by
Directors or mechs or specialists of whatever type to announce they
had availability in their schedule to travel, or even advertise types
of info they had prepared for exchange.

Even then we still get stuck at travel expenses. But we can tackle
that separately.

Speaking for myself, if I was being hosted I'd like choices. Camping
in someone's backyard might be an excellent and preferable option some
times of the year, while being hosted in someone's actual house might
be nicer at other times or in other circumstances.

I remember at the regional BikeBike! in Troy they had a huge
repurposed church (which I believe was The Center For Independent
media?) and they had a huge sleepover for at least fifty of us in the
huge congregation chamber (it was a lot of fun). They had a huge
kitchen and everything. Places like that exist in a lot of towns and
are often ready to step up as hosts as well.

I know Cornell here in Ithaca has small apartments withing the campus
often not attached to any dormitory explicitly set aside for visiting
professors and speakers. Accommodations like that are probably a good
thing for all of us to start setting up ot just for this project, but
for all kinds of other exchanges as well.

Even a place that usually does AirBNB but which had an standing
agreement with organizations to reserve the space for visiting
exchangers would be effective. I think the options are fairly diverse
here.
