[Imc-radio] Proposal to mail Meridith a MD

[Paul Bengt Riismandel]

I say yes, given that Meredith has been a member and contributing
volunteer for several years.  

I think it's important to be explicit that we base such a decision on a
record of trust, or a network of trust.  I don't think we want to be
mailing a minidisc to just anyone who asks or promises something, but we
should be willing to do so for someone like Meredith, who is a trusted
IMCista, or someone who is known through our network of trust -- like a
trusted member of another IMC, for instance.

So, anyway, yes.

All,

	Meridith Kruse is in Guatemala (in Xela) studying spanish.
The school at which she is studying is very political, comprised of
many UNRG members past and present.  This, coupled with her interest
in human rights struggles, leads her to a lot of juicy interview
situations.  Right now she's transcribing them and sending them back
in text, but I would like to send her one of our MD recorders for the
summer.  She could return it in person in August.  In return, she
would send us lots of cool audio for IMCRN and possibly FSRN.  

	Since the summer is slow for news and volunteers around here,
and since we have four working MD recorders, I think we can handle one
being on longer-term-loan.  In the past, a consensus of the tech group
allowed this sort of thing, but the tech group no longer meets, so
that's not possible.  So I'm soliciting feedback, and if I here no
strong objections I'll ask the steering comittee to approve this, so
that it passes through an open meeting.

	So, thoughts?
				-Clint
