10. A possible nitpick...

but because it's about all the Occupy actions nationally and internationally, can we replace the use of OWS and Occupy Wall Street where in appears in terms of things like the SOP with some more-inclusive term like simply "Occupy" or "Occupy Everywhere" or "Occupy Underground" or "Occupy ______" or "Occupy *" (or anything else that might be used and generally-agreeable).

I do realize it's a small thing but it makes it clearer that this is about all the Occupy movements and not just Wall Street.

Maybe the occupy group and the SOP as well can be more broad quinnox Feb 2012 #7
The SOP is pretty broadly constructed. ellisonz Feb 2012 #9

So the authoritarian role of Lead Host is at odds with the participatory democracy Warren Stupidity Feb 2012 #22
Agreed. ellisonz Feb 2012 #23
Yep, that's what we're going after. The lead host is a sort of Justice of peace/vibes watcher figure Leopolds Ghost Feb 2012 #25
