[IMC-US-tech] Re: can you make this change on the syndicated site?

[Ana]

hey Brian,

I wasn't suggesting that this be the us site. I think many of us have  
different ideas for what the us site will look like. But I still think  
that the comment below is valuable. No matter what the purpose of your  
site is, Boud is right that calling it a syndication of the IMC network  
is misleading since it does only syndicate from us imcs. All we are  
proposing to you is that you change the text to read  
collected/syndicated from independent media centers in the united  
states. No matter what becomes of this site, that is an important  
clarification.

thanks for all your work!
ana
