[GPSCC-chat] Strategy Meeting

[Jim Stauffer]

Then you two should have organized and facilitated the session, especially 
since neither of you contributed much.

In the announcement for this event and in my introduction I said this wasn't a 
brainstorming session where we would list every idea that anyone wanted to 
throw out to the group. It was an attempt at setting realistic, long-term 
goals for the party. I facilitated the meeting accordingly.

It was something of an experiment, to see if local Greens could engage in a 
discussion about where we want to be in five years, rather than just which 
demonstration we're going to this weekend. If Tian's and Cameron's comments 
are typical, then the experiment was a failure.

If this Local ever wants to try something like this again, maybe these guys 
should try to facilitate this kind of meeting, it wasn't easy.
