I tabled the proposal because of concerns and one block, but emphasized that the people who felt we needed the extra time for discussion need to participate in said discussion.

That we should modify the proposal about when and how to submit proposals passed on Jan 20 to cut the lead time down from one week to the day of the previous General Assembly.
SaraA replied to the forum topic Proposal for new proposal process in the group Process February 8, 2012 8:46 am

I think we should cut the lead time down to ”by the day of the previous General Assembly, preferably to be announced there.”

Proposal for next Saturday’s GA:
We, the General Assembly of Occupy Atlanta, call for the repeal of Georgia’s statutes which suppress worker’s rights in favor of employer’s rights, specifically the ”at-will” employment law and all laws contravening or allowing for exceptions to the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.
SaraA posted an update in the group Process January 22, 2012 12:14 pm

I sent this in last Friday and have already taken amendments.

The GAs should be cut down to twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays, including the “on the road” GAs which are held on Wednesdays once a month. To accommodate the need to attend to the business of Occupy Atlanta in a timely way, the hard deadline of two hours should be…[Read more]

It might be time to have a conversation about the role of committees in relationship to the General Assembly. Aside from the assertion that committees have autonomy in their area of responsibility, a notion which different people interpret in a wide variety of ways, we never really hammered that out. Personally, I think that committees have to…[Read more]
SaraA started the forum topic Some proposal stuff in the group Process January 10, 2012 12:56 am

First off, the proposal that passed tonight about risk management and diversity of tactics is not intended to exclude autonomous action. I have ideas about how autonomous actions should fit in, but that is […]

I have been rather disappointed in a lot of the “radicals” lately. This is not to say I am disappointed in them as a whole. I know many of the radicals in OA rather well and consider them friends; even if I […]
