Hi all,
Just letting everyone know that a reading group, with an interim name of 
'The Miami Vice Stunt Team'  has been set up followng Thurday's post-WTO 
discussion about the successes / failures of those protests and the 
organising model employed during the protests. Minutes from that meeting 
will be posted to various egroups as soon as they are typed up and apart 
from the reading group various other ideas about more solid ways of 
orgnising were raised. The first topic to be taken up by 'The Miami Vice 
Stunt Team' is about autonomous organising - very relevant following the WTO 
protests. Details are listed below.
