Occupy Underground

(20,176 posts)1.) I think we should have no host. I don't think we need one and I think electing/having leaders is not necessarily in line with the spirit of Occupy. For the next 4.5 questions, I'll assume we're going to have hosts.
1a.) As few as possible. Ideally, zero.
2.) Closer to the first.
3.) Little-or-no autonomy. I think it should be a merely functionary and administrative role.
4.) Neither support or oppose term-limits. I think recalls are likely necessary, but before we can discuss recalls we need to determine methodology for determining who is a voting-member and such methodology needs to be codified.
5. Open vote. (Very strongly that it should be an open vote.)
Observation: I feel undue deference is being given to the DU2 thread and people. Really, it feels like decisions were/are being made there with minimal/zero input from the more-populated DU3 group (edit: Before this group was even formed!!) and foisted on us. I don't really feel that those contents should be given any weight (as in I think they're meaningless) and need be fully re-discussed here. There was no clear notification on DU3 that these major decisions (such as the entirety of the mic-check thread linked above) were being made outside of DU3.
