Eli,
I cannot physically attend on Feb.12th, but my skype account is laura.bloise76, if someone has their computer and wants to skype me in I can try to be available, but i may be on an airplane at that time. Sat @ 3:00PM EST would be better for me. The CU group meets wed @7:30 in E5, if you jump in with that I can also try to skype into that meeting on the 8th. I think sooner is better than later...see action item 3 below.
Action Items:
1. Has anything gone before GA yet? Heleni and Nick from CU group, both said they were going to present something to GA this week. I like the Democracy School resolution you sent out. I think we should use that at the template for what we present to GA and city council. It does not however have a provision in there asking for an amendment. I also recommended some changes to the group. I will try to send you a revised version with those changes and an amendment ask for tomorrow.
2. The OWS and DC resolutions have a long list of whereas' that could be reworked into talking points. Those are both good places to start. It would be good if you or Patrick also had that done by Thursday so that people could add to or comment on them.
3. City Council research and strategy...in addition to this, I think we also need a list of people from different precincts to contact their council members. I have some contacts from the 20/21 sign-up. My mom is meeting me in Venice, Ill have her bring the list and try to get some of those contacts to you next week--at least the ones that pertain to Boston. I am also really concerned that if we wait till the 12th for this it won't be enough time to prepare and turn people out to the meeting on the 15th. Like I said, I will get you names of contacts next week, but I think we need to reach out to CC members before that. If we wait until the 12 to get that done, that only leaves 2 business days to act.

Subject: [Citizens-Resolution] Next meeting and tasks
The spirited dialogue around the draft resolution got me thinking: we need a meeting ! I'm sensitive to the fact that this weekend is quite busy for folks, so how does next Sunday, February 12th at 3:00PM sound? Feel free to respond with an alternative suggestion if that doesn't work for you.
There a quite a few latent action items that need to get done in advance of this meeting. Here's what I got:
1) A complete draft of the resolution. [Heleni, Laura, John]
Due by Thursday, to allow the group to review in advance of the meeting.
2) Talking points. [Patrick<-- are you still interested?]
Due by next meeting.
3) Research on the Boston City Council [Rachel, Erica]
Due by next meeting.
If you'd like to join one of the existing efforts, please email the list and I'll connect you to the right people.
Finally, I updated the wiki with a ton of new information and resources. Check it out and add to it, especially those of you who are doing research work: http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Citizens_Resolution_%28Task_Force%29
Take care!
Eli
