Proposal 1

To allocate $175 dollars so that OB can hold a Live-Streamed event with a public viewing of the OWS Strike Debt "People's Bailout Telethon" to support the "Rolling Jubilee" -Campaign to Buy Debt, Then Abolish It.
$100 is for food, refreshments. $75 is to pay for the space: Hope Central Church, 85 Seaverns Avenue, Jamaica Plain.

Proposal 2

$200 to be given as an OB donation to the "People's Bailout Telethon"

--- Both proposals passed, remaining 'in the bucket' ---

Personal Stack at end:

Michael expressed concern about the ability of OB to reach out to broader population than just an extreme left.

Several people expressed feelings that the process for the emergency allocation of resources supporting those in need after Hurricane Sandy could have been done without disrespecting the GA and other people in OB. Also a desire to hear report-backs on how that support work (renting truck, getting supplies, driving them down, etc.) went.

GA ended, sometime around 6:00.
