[Imc-uk-process] IndyCymru to be removed from list of (uk) IMC's

[ilyan]

Message crossed with Tony. ( Not Gosling) 
There were five people who could edit indycymru when I was added at the 
IMC Manchester meeting.    Since then at least one person dropped out 
fearing the legal consequences.  One who appeared a dogmatic Marxist  
was active for a while, never turned up whenever I proposed meeting, and 
while still listed as an editior does not appear to have been active.  
He could have been the same person who used the name Splottski in UK 
Indymedia.   I never had a reply to my proposals about a statement of 
intent.

Everything that has come up in Indycymru for about a year has been 
passed by me.   There has been one submission that I have not put up 
without asking the sender to make clear or correct.  Apart from that, 
nothing has been hidden, no comment deleted, and sometimes items that 
have been hidden on UK have been put up in the hope of starting a 
discussion.  Only once did that happen when there were about a dozen 
comments.  (about 500 stories posted, about 600 comments drawn.)

Although my name is no longer on the list of editors,  I still function 
as such.    I may have more power than I know, and if I knew what to do 
could perhaps restore the few links that were on the front page that 
went useless when the server was refreshed.    Although inactive on the 
site, when the site went down recently, probably for not paying its 
server, the one who set it up restored the site.   I can have no 
complaint in that quarter, as  there are almost certainly items going up 
that he would not agree with.

After Aberystwyth, I added one name to the Editors - he had helped 
raised the funds that enabled it to be set up originally.  He will not 
be able to function untill he gets around to refreshing his password.  
Have one name I have met that I could add, but have yet to find out if 
she is registered and so could be added to the editors.   I am unwilling 
to add in people with pseudonyms who I have not met.

One of my problems is that on the 7th March all my back emails, and all 
my email address lists vanished from Netscape in my computer.  Nothing 
else went.  Somewhere there may be some backup.  But it is another 
lesson about keeping proper up to date backups.  - where you can find them.
Regards
Ilyan
