I won't be able to make the meeting for the 23rd, I'll be outside of the city. Although, a buddy of mine and I look forward to helping with the petition drive on the 26th. Also I'm trying to get a few other people to come and assist, so please be ready for those who might want to help without ever having been involved yet :).

Thanks,
Arthur

Hey everyone,

This sounds great. FYI the meeting spot for the Stop The Meter CRTC  petition drive has been set for Saturday, Feb 26th @1pm @ The Art Gallery (W.Georgia side). 

From there we are encouraging supporters to take the petition, in groups of two or three, and get as many Vancouverites as possible to sign the petition calling on the CRTC to Stop The Meter and end Internet caps. 


Steve Anderson has called a day of action planning meeting at the OpenMedia's office, @111 Hastings, for Wed Feb 23rd @7pm. If you are free and keen to help organize the Stop The Meter petition drive please join us for this planning meeting. 

For the Internet, 

Glyn

Dayla, that sounds like a great way to arrange this. 

Chris been talking about this since before I was even so I want to make sure he can attend the meeting. So lets say  Wednesday the 23nd at 7pm? We can host at the OpenMedia.ca office @ 111 hastings. We'll provide some snacks, but feel free to bring your own food and drinks if you like. Bring your creative ideas and energy. 

Please do keep the ideas coming, as I'm sure some people won't be able to make the meeting. 

I'm CCing Paul, who has done some door to door education for us before, and has also done canvassing for Green Peace. He's signed up to help organize and help folks you want to get people to sign the petition. Awesome! He won't be there on Wednesday, but will be around on Saturday, and will give people some pointers just prior to the action for those interested. 


Onward!

I think a table with some literature and music playing on the Robson side of the Art Gallery would be a good base for people to sign petitions, and we can send out teams of people with clipboards around that area to get individuals to sign. That way shy and curious people can read about the cause without getting frightened away by people asking them to sign, while the people who need convincing can also be appeased. And if the Art Gallery is already busy, we could just move over closer to the Canada Line station.

Also, a brainstorming session is a great idea. Tuesday at 7 sounds good.

but regardless, seems like it would be good for interested folks to meet face to face for a brainstorming session  and just to get to know each other before the 26th. 

This is a really good idea.

How do people feel about tuesday the 22nd at 7pm? We can host at the OpenMedia.ca office @ 111 hastings. 

Works for me.
