[OccupyComms] Proposal for UK wide online meeting 9pm every Weds

[Occupy Norwich]

Dear Luther,

Sorry for my late response, I will forward to the rest of the camp in case
they have not read this yet.

It is a good idea to have a forum and a date and time to chat amongst all
groups.

I am a little unsure though with what you mean by your request for this to
be "mainly for people who are doing
actual work" at a physical occupy site. Are you dividing the group into
those that are camping and those that are not or did you mean anybody who
is involved in one way or another in a camp is welcome, regardless if they
stay over night at their camp? For my part for example I do not stay over
night, and there are a number who do not, but I consider myself very
involved and do a good chunk of the media, communication and press work for
example. Further, there are camps like the Isle of Wight who only exist
symbolically because they do not have enough resources, but they are active
and get involved in campaigns. In any group wide forum that is not
restricted to camp practicalities I think everybody involved in any way
should be invited.

I just wanted to check what the purpose of the forum was exactly. Please
let us know so I can inform the rest of the group.

Thanks for the initiation!

Best

Vanessa, Occupy Norwich Media
