Daniel - is it possible for you to draft a 500 word or so description of what happened in Florence such that we can, collectively, explore if this is the right basis for the development of the Story?

Hi, respecting Suresh's email's paragraph below:
 
1) Institutions are not the same as organizations. Some organizations that could provide funding are as horizontal as we are (or more, because they have tried longer) but decide to put money together to fund initiatives they value. And for instance the WSF itself could, perhaps, be happy to fund the expenses we would have to pay through them. Precisely by asking them for that help we are just asking to have no fees for our process. And I think the least we could say on this is not "i don't want money from organizations" but what requisites does an organization need for us to consider it and for what money.
 
2) Somebody said about keeping money for future projects. I think this is not the way to go, although maybe we will obtain more than we need (i don't expect so) and then we would need to decide what to do with that money, i think we shouldn't aim directly at obtaining more than what we need. If this happens, let it be because of bad planning and uncertainity. Think that money (or other resources) we obtain will be removed from somewhere else, and somewhere that is going to be used for a noble cause, likely.
 
3) About the video, yes, that's right we need a video and a story, i think the story must be related with the fact that some of us organized some assembly in the streets of Florence during the ESF and liked the results and thought that we could provide some value to the WSF too.

Crowdfunding and Movement Building
I think that, if possible, we should approach as many funding sources as possible, That said, in developing the crowdfunding strategy we are developing a model that funds movement building activity directly through the people... This is to be contrasted with funding movement building activity through institutions... Of course, from a flexibility standpoint, it makes sense to source funding from as wide a base as possible. It is, for example, better to receive $10 * 1000 people as opposed to 1000 * 10 people.
