[Seattle-editorial] November 30th 2002

Hey Seattle IMC,

OK, so, I have a proposal for an N30 feature on the webpage.

Since a "week of action" has been called, it seems to follow logic that there 
will be "building actions" all week, "building" media hype for n30. I would 
propose that on or around November 23rd, a feature go up, to highlight and 
advertise any/all affinity group actions that take place. This way people can 
be inspired, and informed about actions.

What do ya think?

I can help write any stuff that needs to be for the summary.
