I love it!!!!
I am an avid visitor of other "occupy's" around the region. I will be traveling over Thanksgiving to AZ, and have already reached out to occupyphoenix and occupytucson!
I would relish the opportunity to be something more then an autonomous member of OB... if we had a solidarity proclamation or something of the sort, we can empower "ambassadors" to read the proclamation and address the GA on our behalf (not to set policy, mind you, but for Q & A).
With the holidays coming up, it's absolutely in our interest to send "vetted" people out from OB to establish relations with the other occupies in a more officious way. By acting now, we can take advantage of some people's built-in travel time to reach out directly!
As an autonomous member of OB, I have traveled to and have contacts at OccupyWallSt. OccupyNH. OccupySalemMA.
I am VERY active on twitter, and have direct contact with most of the other major (and many of the minor) occupies around the globe!
Let's get going!!!! :)

Wall Street and Philadelphia have started similar groups and I was just in LA- they are doing the same. It's my belief that in order for this to be successful we need open communication and participation from members of ALL existing working groups. Right now we have members from Medic, Outreach, Tech, Media, Information, FSU and Arts. We are still missing people from many working groups! I think this could be a powerful addition to our movement, the benefits obviously being strength in solidarity and numbers as well as helping and being helped by the whole Occupation community but it will only work if we have a wide representation of OccupyBoston.

The idea is to formulate a solid concept for this group, gain members from each working group and present this during a GA to get full recognition and backing from OB. Please feel free to edit and post new ideas, concerns or concepts to this page. The more input and diversity we have, the stronger we can become. We are already receiving requests from other occupations- local, national and today from Egypt!
