There are many ventures and activities that would benefit from having a system similiar to corporate shares without requiring the formation of a new corporation (and leaving your current corporation). These temporary shares would be visibly different from regular corp shares to prevent confusion. A set of these shares can be purchased by anyone and distributed like normal shares, except the share owner list will be visible. When initially purchased, a finite number of shares are created and titled by the purchasing character. This set will be immutable once purchased. The only in game actions that can be done using the shares are voting, messaging and isk distribution.

Scenarios
1. You regularly mine with the same group of people, not all of them are in your corporation and you want an easy way to pay all members their share based upon the sell price of the minerals. You create a share set and pass out the shares amongst the group. The minerals are mined, hauled, refined and then placed up for sale. As the minerals are sold, the value can be split amongst the temp share owners.
2. You team together with a few of your corp members (or non corp members) to jump in capital ship production. You pool your isk to purchase the necessary blueprints and components and then begin production. The eventually finish construction and successfully sell a ship. Components and blueprints are purchased to build the next ship and the remaining isk from the sale is distributed to the temp share owners. The process repeats a few times, and one of the temp share holders wants out for whatever reason. He sells his share to one of the other share holders. More ships are built with profits getting distributed.
3. You are the CEO of a corporation and would like a more structured way to communicate with your various corp divisions and get feedback from them. You purchase share sets for each division and distribute to the full members of each division. You want to let the members of your mining division to determine which day(s) would be best for corp mining ops, so you issue a vote to this share set since the other divisions will not care about this.
