Congratulations Occupy Tulsa GA!

[Official Occupy Tulsa]

I would like to congratulate everyone on their spectacular job. I felt like the GA was transformed tonight.

With a second vote on Saturday, we will finally be working smoothly.

The Accounting Work Group (AWG) now has excellent operating procedures that the GA must comply with.

We have workgroups who immediately got to work after the meeting and everything gelled nicely, because people were ready and anxious to get to work. I feel like real progress is going to start happening.

We also will be allowing the closed workgroup discussions to continue with participation and get to work, including a Spokes workgroup.

Besides these things, we also got dates worked out for GA's and future actions. With a Direct Action workgroup with some amount of official autonomy, we can begin to see some public actions forming soon.

Each group is assigned to work out its own procedures and present them in upcoming GA's.

See the GA notes posted by Sandra for details.

Nicely done, everyone!

Absolutely, congratulations. I lost the stream during the Daniel Lee discussion, but up until then it was clear that things were moving right along. Great job by the AWG to outline some clear policies and practices that will ensure accountability and limit risk to OT.

As for the media workgroup, I would like to advise/participate. Is there a particular workspace or meetup that I need to attend? This first message of clarification, in particular, needs to be done in a simple, clear, and positive way to establish credibility and help the media understand what has just happened -- but without appearing vindictive. Thanks for any info.
