>[ No New Round Radio ]distributed independent radio coverage on WTO, 
>A global coordinated distributed effort to cover no-wto actions and 
>countersummits, where any free independent media can join in taking 
>up part of the 24 hour programming.
>
>This is the only independent broadcast platform covering the WTO 
>conference, which is quite possibly a defining meeting between the 
>west, the third world and Islam. The anti-globalisation movement has 
>never had a voice in the area, so this is an important relationship 
>building operation with all of the players. We hope the IMC network 
>makes the most of this and we make true progress in being a true 
>global independent news media network. Indymedia really does go 
>where no other news agency will go and thus brings a voice to the 
>unheard, the dispossessed and from all corners of the planet.
>
>With the help of Indymedia, Greenpeace intends to put on the web at 
>least 1 hour of English programming a day during the WTO meeting, 
>also Arabic programming is being planned. The origin of those 
>broadcasts will be the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior, as it is 
>docked in Doha, Qatar during the 4th Ministerial meeting of the 
>World Trade Organization (WTO).
>
>We invite any indymedia center to help cover on the global site as 
>well as on their local sites the events happening in their locations 
>from no 9th to nov 13th.
>Phone lines will be soon set up to receive incoming calls from all 
>over the world to report on the various actions: there will be the 
>possibility to upload audio features on mirrored ftp sites so that 
>anybody partecipating can share the content produced and radios can 
>transmit it in any form.
>
>We hope that the coordination will grow to include another 
>communication means and as much people as possible: it's a big 
>experiment and it could spawn the idea of keeping this distributed 
>audio project.
>
>Coordination is taking place on:
>
>IRC server: irc.indymedia.org channel: #radiodoha
>Mailinglists: www-features at lists.indymedia.org, imc-audio at lists.indymedia.org
>nowto at squat.net - more coordination
