re: #3 laZardo

I was at Occupy Seattle yesterday morning and this is something they actually recognize. I wasn’t there yesterday afternoon, but they are definitely trying to form an organizational structure at least within the different protest chapters.

This structure consists of various ‘committees,’ each with a representative. All these representatives - basically glorified messengers - meet at the General Assembly and can work with other committees as well. Ideally, that is the closest position they have to leadership, as they insist that being leaderless makes them more representative.

One of the committees, of course, is the one making the demands. There are others such as the ones that makes the graphics and signage (including ones that direct people to where to throw their garbage), first aid groups, and even ones that deal with getting the permits.
