delegates meeting proposal & discussion draft email

 * dear omninoms,
 * jenny & i were just (in our communications meeting) talking about convos folx have had about bringing more conviviality to our delegates meetings. we're proposing that assemblies double as potlucks, and that the potluck portion begins a little earlier – 6:30 – so that by 7 we can be ready to begin meeting. additionally, in light of recent events, we're suggesting that we reserve time at the next meeting to discuss our mediation processes, safer space policy, and solidarity statement. - julian & jenny
