8. Sure it is.
Another example:

"The media team, upon receiving that laptop, designated it to me for my use on behalf of the Internet committee. The computer isn't mine. When I go back to Chicago, I'm not going to take it. Right now I don't even know where it is. Someone else is using it. But so, after hearing this, people thought it had been gifted to me personally. People were upset by that. So a member of the Internet work group went in front of the group and said, 'This is a need of the committee. It's been put into Ketchup's care.' They explained that to the group, but didn't ask for consensus on it, because the committees are empowered."

There are leaders, and people have already given them power.

But that's just on the ground stuff.

My initial post was about it being obvious that there's a larger leadership. Otherwise, how else was this organized as far back as April? Who trained the organizers? And, more importantly, who is paying for people to travel around the world to get other demonstrators organized? It can only be at a leadership level.
