Decisions Made
Activist Tat Collective
Proposal that Activist Tat Collective should take on the role of holding, maintaining and lending out the climate camp movement's equipment. Make sure it is readily available to those who need it, that it is not lost (estimate that we have squandered £100K in past 2 years) and kept in good order
This will cut down on stress, and on purchase, hire and maintenance costs. A legally established cooperative will own the kit, making it harder for police to impound it. Climate camp would have prior call on the kit.
Consensus!
Network for Climate Action/other nationally coordinated activities
Final Proposal: "Roughly equal consideration, with flexibility, is given at future Gatherings to organising the main summer event (e.g. the Climate Camp), and to other nationally-coordinated
activities."
One stand aside

The form of the summer event
Proposal: this year's climate camp event will consist of at least a climate action camp and a caravan linked with that event. Caravan will include a start point which we haven't specified anything about

No blocks
Consensus!
Time of Summer Event
Proposal: camp part of the summer event happens b/t wed 23rd and wed 6th August
Stand asides:
- 1 feels like they haven't been listened to
- 1 wants week of action later so people can go to Saving Iceland
- 1 doesn't think it is explicit enough for those needing to take time off work
- 1 wants to have discussion on when a day of action should be before we make this decision
- 1 thinks that doing this hems us in from the biofuels/coal combo
now: 3 stand asides
Consensus!
Future Gatherings
- Nottingham: 1st-2nd March
