<div><font face="Arial">Is this decision a reversal of last weeks - last
published (27th Jan) GA decision to hold GA's on Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday? Will this decision be changed again - say next week to Monday,
Wednesday, Saturday? dependent on who runs the GA? It might be helpful to list
attendees so people can see who reached 'consensus</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">As an outsider, its impossible to commit to GA's as you
keep moving the goalposts - from what I experienced at the Citadel on sunday -
you have bigger issues to consider rather than whether to serve digestives or
rich tea with the camp tea? Perhaps its just me, but something is not right and
the falling off of numbers seems to underline it. Most revolutions tend to gain
momentum, with Occupy its going the other way.</font></div>

GAs</div>
<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Sorry, misleading title as every GA is public.
<div><br></div>
<div>It was decided at the meeting tonight (again I think!) that we would have
GAs at camp/citadel on Monday, Weds and Friday - to leave Tuesday and Thursday
free for working group/ alternative meetings. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Most people agreed it would be good to have a Saturday public GA slot
somewhere outside of the established Occupy spaces. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I think the town hall would be good, at around 3pm. However, I don't
think this should be a normal GA. What about it being something along the
lines of, "Occupy, What's it all about? What do we want, What do we want to
achieve?"</div>
<div>Anyway, it's late and I'm rambling. Would just appreciate some input on
where people think this should go. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks loads</div>
