What is the role of the GA?

Stephen Fuegi:
Divide between wg people and GA people
GA deals with big picture issues
Traditionally GA's handled camp issues - no longer an issue

Quinn:
Different perspective

Camron:
Proposals are rare at other occupations
Camps with 1 GA per week work best

Eric:
legacy reasons
needs other spaces
like Jibran's idea
forums to allow people to just speak

Natalia:
don't have to have proposals
don't like fighting
wednesdays - proposals, saturdays - discussion

Winter Incubator II Notes

January 14, 2012

OWS Think Tank

OWS Think Tank guests Lily Defriend and Tim Weldon opened up the Incubator session with some remarks about what they’ve learned at OWS. 

Lily – Occupy Pittsburgh should continue to think about the camp site and what it means if it remains - and if it goes; Liberty Plaza was gone so quickly, without warning, but Occupy Pittsburgh has prep time to think about the current location and what options to consider in the event of eviction
