[Imc] antidiscrimination language in structure document

[Ellen Knutson]

Your input and ideas are requested on the following language to be included 
in the structure document. At the membership meeting (Sat. March 30, 2002) 
the membership decided to include antidiscrimination language into the 
structure document, and empowered the steering group to draft the language. 
At today's steering group meeting we came up with the following statement:

"The IMC is committed to creating and maintaining an open and fair
community. Meetings are open to all without regard to age, gender,
race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, citizenship, or any
other applicable basis proscribed by law. Every participant will be
treated fairly and equitably."

Please take some time to think about this statement and to suggest changes 
and/or amendments. The matter will be addressed at next week's Steering 
Meeting (Sun April 14th at noon). If you have suggestions, I encourage you 
to come to the meeting. If you are unable to come to the meeting please 
send your suggestions to the list, or you can call me (or I'd imagine 
anyone else on Steering) and I'll take your suggestions to the group. My 
phone number is 278-2274.

Cheers,
Ellen
