That tent must

be there to respond to the general media, create a space that is not protestors but specifically for camera personal from major news outlets.

Create a response room that is a focused group of contributors who constantly live stream so that you can crowd source appropriate responses to all actions taken for and against the movement and have up to the minute responses to these actions. SITUATION ROOM This room does not need to be in NYC it can be anywhere in the country and should accept hash tag twitter support youtube interaction etc.

When decisions need to go out via public mic that room can say decisions on this matter are pending public response please check in at this time for conclusions.

That room can tailor print articles online posters etc and you can use crowd sourcing to create the image.

Faster turn around on OWS posts is critical, i-supporters like myself do not have enough up to date info on the OWS site to feel involved at the OWS site.

That tent can and should be suggesting work safe signs of solidarity (desktop backgrounds desk flags, 99% stickers, pamphlets etc).

It is great that everyone is democratic processing, but those decisions need to be made at an accelerated pace, (online polling?)

Time to innovate the movement for effectiveness.

That's my 2 cents.

ultimately, they(gov+wallstreet) know what the problems are. just holding ground until they make a move is the important part.

I agree hold hold hold, but the other stuff can't hurt, and while you have a media tent you are creating news. News organizations are always looking for news and this is a hell of a way of making it temptingly easy for them.
