Vote and consensus was reached on modified Good Neighbor Policy. We will discuss enforcement on Tuesday.
Maria proposed that we remove all tents for the requested 5 day duration in solidarity with the MLK celebration. Consensed. A point of information was raised that the NAACP has agreed to let us keep one symbolic tent for information only, not sleeping.
Katya proposed that 24 hour provision of food be removed. Food will all be taken away. Keep plates, napkins, etc, but no food. This was blocked.
Diane came up with a counter proposal of a weeks trial where we would try bringing food, or giving them (overnighters) money instead. Consensus. No blocks. Maria made an amendment that we not bring up the food tent until after January 1.

Tabled Proposals re: Working Groups

Peggy requested buy-in from Occupy Chapel Hill, since the event will take place at the Plaza and wanted us on board.

Consensus reached on OCH’s support of the Bill of Rights Day Celebration at Peace and Justice Plaza.

GA Frequency Proposal
“Cut the number of General Assemblies down to 3/week. Sunday + 2 other days to be determined by vote during Monday GA and via online survey for those who can’t make Monday’s GA.
In the off days, Working Groups can meet and we can have teach-ins and events at that time.
In the event that there’s an emergency issue that requires the action of a GA, we can call an emergency GA with at least 24 hours notice, if possible, to discuss that particular issue. The announcement of the emergency GA will be posted to the listserv and the website.”
Consensus reached!
Working Groups Proposal
“Issue a call for working groups to check in by next Sunday (Dec. 4). In your check-in mention any holiday plans (being away) your group might have. If there’s no check-in from a group, the GA will ask whether anyone is willing to step up to continue the group. If not, it will be considered inactive (meaning removed from list of groups on website, forum area locked to new posts, and listserv will be suspended if possible) until someone re-activates it.”
All twinkles (consensus).
Listserv Proposal
Create a separate Occupy Chapel Hill discussion listserv, leaving the main list more for announcements, meeting minutes, events and emergency communications.
Create separate one for discussions only.
PROPOSAL: Try 2 list serves – discussion and action/events
Consensus reached!

Nightwatch proposal
Motion to have a separate group of people who feel strongly about this meet (Stephanie will bottom-line) and come up with a new proposal.
Consensus reached on developing a new proposal.
Final proposal:
“We condemn the inappropriate and torturous actions of police at UC Davis as sanctioned by the Chancellor. We support the protest and applaud them for their measured response to police brutality and we support the call for the chancellor’s resignation.”
Consensus reached!
Proposal to discuss winter plans and strategies at the next GA: Tuesday, Nov. 22 (instead of GA).
Consensus reached!
New proposal: Always use people’s mic first, but you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
Consensus reached!!
So we will start out GA’s with people’s mic. If someone is speaking who is not comfortable with people’s mic, that person can request not to use people’s mic.
