 Announcements: All current and upcoming events are announced here.

Meeting Adjourned.

We have an Open Forum one hour before the GA, here one can discuss any topic. In the GA it is only for voting and clarification.

Generally, how many people participate in the General Assembly? 

We usually have about 30-60 or more people in the GA.

How many working groups are there, in Orlando, and what issues are being debated? (A few examples or a link to a list)

Occupyorlando.org has a lot of info about what we do, forums, and GA minutes.

We have a lot of groups like peacekeepers, medics, supply keepers, food staff, organizers of information and material, media and internet moderators and much more.

What are the requirements for creating a working group?

A working group must be proposed and have consensus at the GA. A group is formed and if you wish to be a member than you can apply online at the above address or see that group member. The info desk at our occupation has all the info. The groups are called teams and are denoted by colors like white team, green team, red team etc..

Is there a limit to how many working groups you can belong to?

 There is no limit to joining or working in groups as far as I know.

How can people participate in the GA or a working group online?

People can watch the GA live from our livestream @ http://www.livestream.com/occupy_orlando

GA times are on the OccupyOrlando.org website, the time is usually at 7pm but can happen at 8pm.

What are the strengths of the GA process?
