Eli, you read my mind. Marches usually take a few minutes to get started and we would have time to do this.

Hi Ben/Street Team,
Students Occupy Boston came up with a fairly elegant solution to this problem when their Student GA coincided with the Oakland solidarity march. They met at the scheduled time, and made their first agenda item, "Should we cancel this meeting and join the rally?" They did end up deciding to join the rally, but it was done by true consensus, and avoided the shaky, awkward, half-consensus that tends to be reached in a couple hours of e-mailing.
If the facilitator/group feels it's appropriate, we can put that on the agenda for tonight, come to a quick decision, and move on from there. But in the meantime, everyone please assume we're still meeting tonight at 5:00 (lacking consensus on Ben's proposal). And of course, don't let any of this stop you from attending the rally anyway if you feel so moved.

As I'm sure you all know, our brothers and sisters in New York were raided last night, and there is a march scheduled for 5 O'clock from Dewey in Solidarity with #OWS. SO, do you guys want to have the meeting at 5, as planned, or postpone it until 6:30 when the march comes back?
Thanks!
Ben
