Proposal to lower quorum

October 21, 2013 at 10:46 am.

Categories: Facilitation Committee, Front Page, GA Proposals, General Assembly, Open Mic

Whereas the General Assembly of Occupy Oakland has continued to meet every week,

Whereas the last resolution regarding quorum set quorum at 70 attendees,

Whereas the General Assembly is generally attended by less than 20 people,

Whereas the current quorum makes it impossible for Occupy Oakland to pass official resolutions endorsing new committees or actions,

It is resolved to set quorum at 25 attendees until such time as typical attendance increases and this number can be re-evaluated.

About OccupyOakland.org

This website was created in the fall of 2011. Most of it is now moribund, but the Occupy Oakland Calendar, which lists activist events in the East Bay (and occasionally elsewhere) is still maintained, the Search facility works to find earlier posts and keep OO’s history alive, and articles are occasionally still posted to the front page.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly met in-person weekly (with a rare skip) since October 10th, 2011 up until the pandemic, at which point we went to bi-weekly Zoom meetings. We do checkins, go over the activist events of the past meeting interval, and have general discussions on politics and revolution.

For many years, until the pandemic, we put on a Feed the People event monthly at Oscar Grant Plaza, where all were welcome to come and partake of a freshly cooked, savory meal, before our GA.

If you would like to participate while the pandemic is still amidst, send an email to occupyoakland-request@lists.riseup.net. Check the calendar or this text to see if we have resumed in-person meetings.
