New page

Proposal: New process for creating a statement of demands. This dovetails with the spirit of proposals #15 & #17 above.
## Problem: A "list of demands" or "statements of purpose" seems like good ways to unite the movement behind a comprehensible (if general) platform 
### As we've seen in recent GA sessions, a lengthy "list of demands" seems difficult to discuss in GA and takes too long to properly put through the consensus process. 
### The person or group of persons who developed such a list may not be representative of the movement & diverse viewpoints may be lost. 
## Solution: Allocate time in GA to propose individual, itemized demands from the floor. 
### One session could be devoted to proposals - all of which would be recorded & lightly discussed 
### Proposals would be posted on the wiki / distributed on paper & the GA members would be given a few days to ruminate 
#### Items would be read in GA, just to review them. 
#### Perhaps there could be a "temperature check" on each item to make sure at least 50% of the GA would like to eventually vote on it 
### After a few days' time, a dedicated GA session would review the demands. Perhaps this process could occur over the course of a few sessions, adding approved itms to a growing list to minimize the burn-out and loss of quorum that occurs when an entire list is discussed as a whole 
### Final GA session to ratify the compilation of approved items after they have been individually agreed-upon 
## Next steps: each demand (i.e. "End corporate personhood!") could be used as a platform for launching more concrete proposals for actions, thus providing an organizational structure for discussions of the future of the movement
