[Imc-beirut] draft for process

[blue.pi]

Hi, 

this is what I would write to imc process: 

Dear imc process working group, 

we like to inform you that imc Beirut is going into “sleeping mode”: We 
have already arranged to freeze the website. There will still be the main 
mailing list, all other beirut lists will be disabled. 

The reasons are: The group does not exist as a group anymore. There 
haven’t been proper meetings since almost a year and no other collective 
activity (except personal). Individuals have tried over a period of several 
months to revive the group, but didn’t succeed for which we see structural 
and personal reasons. We don’t see a point in individuals maintaining the 
website if the group is dead – this would also contradict indymedia 
policy. 

We would still like to keep the main mailing list because there are people 
in Beirut known to us who are interested in the project, but don’t have 
the capacity right now to take over. We don’t think that these friends 
should have to go through a new process once they decide to enable the 
website again. 

If you have any questions or suggestions for us, please read our latest 
discussion before – many points might already be answered:
