[IMC-US] IMC US imc-process deadline Wed 1 Oct 2003 17:00 GMT

[boud]

hi imc-process,
   new-imc working group has *internally* approved the IMC US proposal,
with one final comment supporting the proposal:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2003-September/004412.html

Since it's from a Latin American IMC, it's particularly relevant,
IMHO.

i've put a deadline of:
 IMC US imc-process deadline Wed 1 Oct 2003 17:00 GMT
for imc-process discussion, but since this is not a normal case of
a local IMC, it's up to imc-process facilitators to decide if this
is the right delay and to facilitate discussion. 

If no facilitator from imc-process overrides this default procedure,
and if there are no blocks by any local IMC, then following the deadline 
the IMC US will be approved, IMHO.

There *are* some concerns, at least by individuals (including me!),
but nobody feels that these justify a block.

To help with any discussion on imc-process, please make use of 
the general discussion of the IMC US proposal on the TWiki:

http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/NewImcUSProcess

It's a twiki page - it's there to be used and help clarify things.


Anyway, here are the US IMC's documents:

> Finally, our decision-making process works fairly well through a passive

> deadline, the proposal passes.  We've tended to have at least a few days, 
> and often a week or two for discussions.
