And thereby feed back into physical Occupy through participation.

We can figure out the details once we've given folks a chance to review and edit the hosting guidelines.

In GA fashion, we'll probably do a two-phase process for the hosting guidelines thisweek, if ellison's comments are any guide:

1. Wikipedia-style discussion of the full and redacted drafts of the proposed guidelines. I will probably need to post the OP since I have the formatted copy of the DU2 produced version, and I promised Ellisonz I'd read his most recent draft. Elisonz offered to facilitate the discussion of the hosting guidelines, though, since he's abstaining from serving as a host, and it can be done here (of course)

2. Mic Check poll threads on occu~du2 with links posted here to utilize the poll feature, if people want to do polling consensus. This would also help fill in people who read there on what's goin' on.

(This would all be just to get the hosting guidelines put in place)

Ellisonz suggested we refrain from nominating co-hosts and such until that discussion is taken care of

Keep people up on what's happening with occupy. UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #1

One possible function of the group could be to notify of online public opinion polls Joe Shlabotnik Feb 2012 #26
And also to counter Freeper swarms. UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #29
Exactly. Joe Shlabotnik Feb 2012 #30
