Prego correggano l'inglese cosparso sui maccheroni,
aggiungano ciò che manca (in due punti non ho idea di cosa
metterci), cambino le cazzate che ho scritto e dove non
ho capito, e infine integrino i discorsi ecc. :-)

-------------

a. Agree in spirit to the NIMC MissionStatement and PrinciplesOfUnity,

:: We read these documents and we fully agree with such texts.

b. Have a committed membership substantial enough to sustain a  
functional IMC

:: We are a lot of people, each one skilled in different fields; some  
of us already partecipate in the Italian indy node, before it was  
(temporary) closed (and is still involved in).

c. Have open and public meetings (no one group can have exclusionary  
"ownership" of an IMC)

:: We live in different cities around Tuscany, we have different  
political point of view (though we all fights for themes like  
ecology, antifascism, antisexism, animal rights, antimafia,  
individual and collective rights and internationalism) and we are  
activists in different groups and associations. We have in mind to  
organize meetings and workshops in places where anybody interested  
might partecipate. We are also planning to organize such an  
"indyTour" all over Tuscany and tech workshop to share (among us and  
with other people too) technical information on how indymedia works  
and on how a project of independent information could work.

d. Work toward developing a local Mission Statement or Statement of  
Purpose. Network Mission Statement may be adopted or used on an  
interim basis

:: We have already discussed and written such document.

e. Establish and publish an editorial policy which is developed and  
functions through democratic process, and with full transparency

:: We agree with the democratic process and the transparency; the  
policy should be the same as the old Italy node, with some tweaks.

f. Agree to the use of Open Publishing as described in the NIMC  
Editorial Policy [editorial collective comments: "We did agree that  
the term "Open Publishing" was one that is still being defined by the  
Global Network Collective, and we would wait and see what the results  
were before rewriting this criteria]

:: We are planning to use a CMS with this feature in our future web  
site. Moreover we consider Open Publishing the core of an indymedia  
web site.

g. Adopt a decision-making policy that is in alignment with consensus  
principles which include open, transparent and egalitarian processes

:: We agree with this kind of decision-making policy, as a matter of  
fact we already are used to make decisions in that way already in the  
old local Tuscan group of Italy indymedia. We agree with the  
consensus principles.

h. Have a spokesperson(s) willing and capable of participating in the  
global decision-making process and meetings as a rotating liaison/ 
representative, with a clear understanding of the responsibilities  
that come with this role,

:: ...... ?????

i. Participate in the key IMC Network Communication Methods that  
pertain to the health and vitality of the Network and that contribute  
to the work of the IMC. Assure that at least one person from your  
local IMC participates at any given time on the [[http:// 
lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-communication][IMC- 
Communication]] list,

:: ...... ?????

j. Have no official affiliation with any political party, state or  
candidate for office (comments: but individual producers have freedom  
to do whatever they like and local IMCs can "feature" stories about  
various political parties and initiatives),

:: As already written, each one of us has its own political point of  
view, and we are not all activists in the same political group or  
organization; some of us not even like any political party ;-)

k. IMCs shall in no way engage in commercial for-profit enterprises.  
[We could add: The IMCN is committed to the decommercialization of  
information and will disassociate from any local IMC that decides to  
become a for profit media corporation.]

:: We can assure this.

l. Display a ³local version² of the IMC ³i² logo on your website and  
literature.

:: We will do it in our future web site and in our printed documents.

m. Include the IMC Network current ³Cities List² on your site,  
preferably on the front page.

:: We have written this in the "charte" too.
