Andreas – you've been living in London too long – chat em house rules!

Generally speaking, I think it's an improvement. But some of these are more focused on planning an action, other parts can be used during any aspect of organizing and campaign work. How do we organize this to make that clear?

Specifically:

Affinity groups – “with whom?” is confusing – I suggest something clearer like “How to create an affinity group”. In that section, you mention “de-arresting strategies”, which I don't think are mentioned elsewhere. Snatch squads and police horses may not be common terms.

Is the affinity group the bases for the group process? It may or may not be. But in an action, you also want some hints on quick decision-making.

The Roles in/before/after an action - some of these are roles, others tasks. Do they need more explanation?
