=== Global Day ===
"Global Day" was approved as an initiative by the World Social Forum IC in an effort to homogenize 18 regional/thematic social forums that will be happening in the interim before the 2011 WSF in Senegal. This will bring a strong international presence to Detroit and the USSF will be organizing around this in the form of dedicating the second day: "Global Day." Time will be given to this topic during the IC/FSQ. A budget should be made quickly to find funding for bringing people here.

		+	Keeping this as a committee, rather than a working group, is a good lesson learned from Atlanta (via Collin). Highlights include starting early (check!) for translation needs, post the forum event such that world embassies are aware of it, directly inviting IC (WSF) members, all people that requested a visa for atlanta got one, and building a relationship with an immigration lawyer will be helpful.
