David reached out to me about this, earlier today, and I think it is a
great idea.
If facilitators consent, we can decide tomorrow who presents the proposal,
at GA.
Brian - what's the latest on OTH joining the march?
Is anyone from OB puling a permit for this one, or are we occupying Copley?
Are we using people's mic? I would advocate that we do so.
Can we create a GA Facilitation team from all (or many of) the groups
represented in the day's activities? I would lend a hand to help
coordinate, if another had is needed.
