I just want to throw out how important trainings are. If we do not have base knowledge on how to do direct action- its going to be pretty hard to effectively plan actions. I am okay with both happening. All events will get people thinking in many ways about actions and will give people the tools to do actions.

I think it is really important that OB has as much visibility  in Boston as possible right now..there is a time crunch esp with holiday season and First Night being such wonderful opportunities for major visibility..so I think if anything is condensed the training could be postponed if possible..i know there are outside trainers..and if it looks like folks going to that would want to come to the summit..as for the roadmap mtg...i already said

I am not sure who has the authority to change,condense etc these meetings ( which maybe should have been done when announced at GA)..but if they are changed PLEASE advise certainly by Sunday morning....I don't want to have to come in from Waltham if the Summit is cancelled.

thanks,
Ridgely

Hi all,
I am concerned about the 3 as well and wondering if people who signed up for the Training are planning to go to one of these other things instead. Is there a way to share our brilliance? Would others want to come to the DASP Training? Should we consider a date change for the Training or one of the others? 
Or do people want many options to bloom? 
Here are the events -11:30 am – 2:30 pm — Roadmap Planning Meeting
12-5 pm — Direct Action Strategy and Action Planning1:30-4 pm — Occupy Boston Action Summit There is also a direct action event at 5 PM.

I believe the Direct Action Strategy being referred to is the training - info below - that is scheduled for Sunday from 12-5. I saw the 5pm spokescouncil formation meeting is at the same places as the Sunday training. Also the Sunday training builds on a non-violent direct action skills training that is happening on Saturday. All the info is below. These are trainings in skills, strategy and planning - not meetings. But the Spokescouncil on Sunday is a meeting. 


Saturday: Non-violent Direct Action 10-4
Sunday: Direct Action Strategy and Action Planning 11-4

Hi Ravi and everybody,
There are 3 things on Sunday all at the same time, and looking incredibly similar: the Roadmap planning meeting, the Action Summit, and Direct Action and Strategy Planning. Can we combine??? Especially the direct action planning and the action summit - should be done by the same folks!


See you at the Community Forum on Indoor Spaces (6pm at St. Paul's) tonight!

 Hi all,


As people know, there will be an actions summit on Sunday at 1:30pm at E5. Before the event (and especially for anyone who is not coming), we figured it would be helpful to start some of the basic brainstorms via a shared doc. I've included these below - please add your thoughts!



Action goals - This is a space to brainstorm what the goals of actions are. These are high level objectives that, if attained, mean the action was successful in some definable way.

Possible actions - These are creative ideas of actions that we could do.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah3pFB7dtoJJdEhwc0o3blRGaUlUdHFkQVR1dTQ1VXc&hl=en_US#gid=0


Acton checklist - This is a working list of what needs to be done before, during, or after an action. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah3pFB7dtoJJdFR3bEN0RUxncVRBaHViMzdoSHd0aUE&hl=en_US#gid=0
