All non-profits are corporate entities. http://business-law.freeadvice.com/business-law/corporations/non_profit_corporation.htm

Can we have a set day and time for all those involved in all committees to meet? Say noon on Sat at the waterfront where the march first march was held?

If you have not decided yet about the finance issues: please DO NOT vote for committee heads to control the finances. That opens up to money getting spent on personal vices, such as pot, alcohol, meth, and anything else. There is no oversight to the committees. They suffer absolutely no consequence for draining monies. At the worst they could suffer a slap on the hand, but they will not pay a real price for using community money to abuse drugs and get their committee friends high. This is being taken in the wrong direction.

I feel confused. I was under the impression, coming from someone I ran into on the finance committee a few days ago, that Occupy Portland had been registered as a 501c4 non-profit status. I don’t know that that is a corporate entity?? Very confused. Interesting…

Hello – just thought I’d tip you all off: the OPEN SECRET is that even heads of committees will spend some of the finances on meth and alcohol and pot et cetera. I’m thinking of one person in particular who will use it to abuse drugs and, well, this GA consensus sounds horrible in some ways. I will have to say that I am one of the more trustworthy people, and to see finance controls going to people who may lack character and who are half of who I am, disgusts and disappoints me and alienates a good person further from the movement. Please consider the consequences – ending on the good note that I am sure SOME of the money will be used for movement purposes. Wow, serious regrets on your decision.
