[IMC-US] Re: founding documents for IMC-US

[Joshua Breitbart]

The list is not hosted by lists.indymedia.org, so it's not listed there. It's
hosted by groogroo.com, which hosts the Urbana-Champaign IMC. You'll see it
listed here: http://lists.cu.groogroo.com/cgi-bin/listinfo

We haven't had any meetings yet. But those are valid concerns that should be
taken into consideration. I've often worried how the NYC IMC's base in Manhattan
is geographically prohibitive to people in the Bronx, for example. The Michigan
(statewide) IMC attempted to address the issue in its early stages by moving the
meetings to different cities in different parts of the state.

Just as important if the other sentence you quote: "The IMC-US affinity group is
open to all people who wish to help with the project." Based on your comments to
the new-imc list
<http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2003-September/004336.html> I
question whether you wish to help the project. 

If you have changed your mind and have constructive criticism (suggestions,
items that can be resolved - not fundamental objections) then I think everyone
would be willing to hear them and respond. But if you simply want to stop a US
IMC from happening, please do it through some means other than disrupting our
internal process. 


In solidarity,
Josh





Quoting SuZQ <suzq at riseup.net>:

 Hi.  This is SuZQ.  I subscribed a little while ago, but for some reason I
 haven't been receiving posts to the IMC/Us lists and my posts keep
 bouncing.  One more attempt at intro...
 
 I'm SuZQ, IMC Philly.  I am involved with translation (french, english,
 spanish, german, and italian), information dispatch, radio and legal
 concerns.
 
 I have a few questions; perhaps someone could help clarify them...

 Where are these meetings?  The US is so large that any face-to-face
 meetings would be geographically exclusive (and internet meetings are
 exclusive anyway.)
 
 Also, why is this list not on lists.indymedia.org?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Peace,
 SuZQ
