[New-imc] Re: [IMC-Process] whats with cleveland?

[kris harsh]

hi,

this is kris from the cleveland imc.  we're just waiting for global to give 
us the codes.  we can't access the site until we have them.  so the center 
column has remained the same.  we meet every two weeks and sit around 
wondering how long it will take for us to have our site back.  that's 
basically it.

lot's of people want to help us out, but we have nowhere to publish their 
writings.

that's the situation...
