    @skyfaller Are you looking for Occupy-specific things? I went to one (a few) like this at the WTO Protests in Seattle. Worked decently because people were mission-aligned. There are some primary source materials linked in this article. Smaller scale than Occupy, to be sure, but also an earlier incarnation

    @jessamyn So this was the spokescouncil model, with affinity groups gathered behind their appointed speakers? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensu

    This also sounds relevant, I'm interested in any large crowds making decisions together in person, without intermediating technology (not counting amplified sound).

    What's the best way for me to learn more about your experiences? Have you written about it at all? Could I interview you?

    @skyfaller Yes, that's it!I'd be happy to talk about it but it was a long time ago and I was just a rando participant. At the time the big "How to posts your anarcho content online" was Indymedia which is kind of around still but not in the same way.

    I've only written about it in terms of reference work (like I worked the info desk at WTO HQ for a few days). My sister went to a Quaker college and she's got experience with their model.

    @skyfaller If you're ok with email interview or at least some initial back and forth over email I'd be happy to share my experiences. There's also WSF which may have some models that they use, though I don't know if they use tech with them or not (I'm mission aligned with them but don't know their thing personally). I'm jessamyn@gmail feel free to drop a note.

    @adamgreenfield Any chance I could interview you about your experiences with general assemblies? :) This is mostly background research for my fiction writing, but I feel that there must be some practical lessons for organizers in the real world too.

    Also would value any reading you could suggest.
