discussion: working groups/infrastructure/spokes council

Cat wants to organize a SOPA working group

D pointed out the need for a finances WG to manage accounting and funding

discussed possible alternatives and conflicts which the working groups could run into throughout an organizational process.  How to deal with working groups which have fallen apart or have no progress. issues of accountability or people floating from one WG to another, keeping things functioning.

it was suggested that an official email be created for each WG, and if the initial point of contact no longer wants to be a part, they pass it on to another person.  Or two to three (a core group) of people function as points of contact w/email info

The spokes council could also help in creating transparency in the interactive working of the groups

we all should have each others phone numbers/emails as a back up plan

discussion: when we get bill 54’d

Back up plans for when we’re tagged.  Discussion around media coverage.  Discussion around disrespecting the government/the law vs. disrespecting individuals who are carrying out the law

Hang on to Kanawai Mamalahoe like a motherfucker

proposals passed:

Compensating Madori for tents

Initiating a Spokes Council

That when we are served with Bill 54/when they come to take stuff OH members will strive to focus on the absurdity of the law and not disrespect individuals who are carrying out the law.

That those individuals who are staying at camp are empowered to (respectuflly) prank Bill 54 cops

Next GA: Saturday @ 2pm
