[Cmi-toscana] Risposte al quiz (era: documenti per il process - deadline)

[case]

Dato che il wiki è giù (e non sanno quando tornerà), le risposte al  
quizzone con le modifiche proposte da pepsy in un precedente post, le  
riscrivo qui.
Qualcun* corregga l'inglese (o tenga un workshop ;-))! E anche altro!
Ai punti h. e i. non c'ho messo nessun nick, ma ci va messo?

ciao

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

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

:: We remind you that the most of us come from the italian indymedia  
node experience, so we well know the various network principles and  
policies.

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

:: Actually our collective is constituted by 23 persons. Each one  
have experiences in and knowledges of ICT, journalism, photo and  
video making. The most of us have managed, until november 2006, the  
old Tusacny category on the italy.indymedia.org site, so, borne out  
of years of experience, we think we are quite able to maintain a new  
node.

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,

:: Some of us are already enrolled on some global network mailing  
lists, and someone will soon subscribe the imc-process mailing list.

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,

:: Someone will soon subscribe the imc-communication mailing 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),

:: Every activist of our collective is autonomous from wichever  
political party, and we to stay in this state.

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.]

:: Our collective is self-managed and self-financed.

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 mission statement too.
