Democratic Stop the War Coalition???

Looks like hackney STWC are trying to make the national organisation more open and democratic. I don't fancy their chances much, but good on them for trying! I wonder if Cambridge Stop the War 'Coalition' will be supporting this resolution (see below). I look forward to their consultation with all the Cambridge peace and anti-capitalist groups before the national conference on the 28th of Feb ;-)

HACKNEY Stop-The-War-Coalition RESOLUTION : 28th February 2004
The resolution below on democracy and communications within the STWC
was passed by the Hackney Stop the War Coalition on Monday, 2 Feb.
It would be useful if other groups submitted the same or similar resolutions and mandated their delegates to vote and speak for it at the STWC conference. Of course, the proposals in it ought to be elementary and uncontentious within any serious mass organisation or campaign. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Resolution From Hackney Stop The War Coalition To STWC Conference:
The Stop the War Coalition (STWC) resolves to implement the following
measures, in order to increase democracy and diversity in our
movement:
1. The names and contact details of each member of the STWC Steering
Committee, together with the name of the organisation they represent
(if they are elected in a representative capacity), will be available on the
STWC website;
2. The dates of Steering Committee meetings will be posted on the STWC
website at least fourteen days in advance, so that STWC members can
attend as observers if they so wish;
3. Similarly, the Steering Committee's agenda will be posted on the
STWC website at least fourteen days in advance of the meetings so that
local groups can send in any comments to inform the Steering Committee's decision-making.
4. The minutes of Steering Committee meetings will be posted on the
website within seven days of the meeting taking place;
5. The resolutions passed at this conference will also be posted on
the website.
