[Break A Silence]

Jacquie -- you said you are on your way -- can cash collected here in Los Angeles go to you before you leave to take to them?   Crysatl

Also I just checked registering domain names.. a first on this one too. I found www.totalregistration.com will only cost ?8 or $12 or 12 Euros.

Its amazing to see what IMC has become. I was involved in the first interactive site (and office) on J18 in London, I took the photos. It is amazing to realise the reach and structure that now exists.. an inspiration and credit to everyone who has taken it on board. 

I will happily re-register the site if that is what everyone agrees on.. I'm just not sure if it should be IMC 'ownership' though for the registration purposes.

I will be heading to Baghdad very soon and could take cash in. Alternatively Are there any CPT or VITW delegations going?

I, personally, agree with Ramzi about the getting out of the way once people in Baghdad can swing this on their own. I guess they will let people know when that is. Does anyone want to write to Palestine and the other local areas IMC groups -- anyone have contact with them? If not, I will, but again, the focus as of yet is to get this paper off the ground and just to start the process of supporting an IMC - if that is even where folks on the ground in Baghdad want to go. So, as last round-ups -- who needs help with the "affiliate" website and how? Where does money for these things listed below get sent? Cheers all!Crystal
