[Wamvan] 2012 WAM! Vancouver Conference - Call for Workshop Ideas

[Jarrah]

I'd like to discuss how groups like Occupy can develop media/communications
strategy while still maintaining commitment to consensus-based decision
making, diverse voices, and having no "face" of the organization. How has
it been done in different places and how successful has it been?
