A friend who went to last night's GA says the process is basically dead. A small gang of lunatics, almost all men, shouted and fought and nothing got done. They're still making policy in some sense, but the real action has shifted to the working groups.
Losing Zuccotti means there's no more coherent social formation behind the GA, aside from a small band of crazy people who hang around there. The structure isn't capable of managing $500,000, for sure. Tales of prefiguration and the GA as some sort of governance model must be rethought.
