Hi everyone,
   The internal IMC PL deadline on deciding to submit our application
was delayed in order to give the new group from Pabianice a chance to
make comments - piotr from pabianice has joined our mailing list and
communication is underway :).

Here are our membership criteria + mission statement + editorial
policy.

It's an open process using a mailing list (hasn't been made yet, but
hopefully will be...) and definition of what can or can't be hidden,
and the method of appeals, counterappeals etc. Anyone who really
wants to know the full details should learn po polsku.

PS: Yesterday in Warsaw an info meeting was held for the European
Social Forum in Florence - this was very encouraging for everyone
interested in the whole human rights rights movement (in the full
UDHR1948 sense of human rights), since people were present from:
- a feminist group
- the OKP - All-Poland Strike Committee (workers' rights movement!)
- a left-wing political party (the "democratic workers")
- anarchists
- a human rights group
- an independent media group ;)
 Several speakers insisted on the importance of diverse groups working
together, but without any dominating over others. Even when one of the
questions posed was "What is the opinion of the ESF on Poland joining
the European Union?", the speakers defended diversity, insisting that
the group collectively has *various* opinions and does not claim to
make any decision on this.
