User Submitted Proposal

Use this section to suggest / discuss potential proposals to present at GA. This should allow people that can't make it to many GA's to share their ideas / suggestions.

Can we have proposals read aloud by an administrator during GA for those protestors who have a proposal but are less inclined or fear speaking in front of a large group of people.

Thank You

If you have a proposal that you'd like to present, and do not feel comfortable addressing the GA yourself, you can find a "sponsor" of your proposal that would do the speaking.  This would stay "in format".

My concern with the secretariat or moderator presenting a proposal without a general member offering it is we would start to look like we're having "back room deals".

In Solidarity,

Ken

Exactly! Find a rep outside of the moderator (WHO CAN BE ANYONE!) or Secretariat.

 

Preferably any proposal has been discussed with a few people to get feedback before going before GA. The point of GA is final consensus and ideas. While people can create a formal proposal and present without discussing with anyone else in the movement, it really slows down GA with huge stack lines as these pre-GA discussions help to solidify the idea. If you can't be on-site, the forums are intended to facilitate this conversation. Hopefully one of the people contributing ideas will be able to present it.

 

It's helpful when the presenter can directly clarify questions that come up in the stack line. If there is no one present who wrote the proposal, it will not have anyone to explain it either (or take friendly amendments).

I am an online supporter. How do I find a sponsor for this proposal?

Limit the highest Corporate Executive salary to a maximum of 49X that of the lowest paid hourly worker anywhere in the world.
