[Imc-cleveland] Imc-cleveland Digest, Vol 37, Issue 11

[ABIGAIL FISHEL]

Kris, I would like to answer on my behalf.  First off, I have shown 
"prolonged involvement" being on the editorial collective in Omaha and being 
on the team that got the thing up and running and put much effort into it.  
I also have been putting much effort into the imc here in Cleveland ever 
since I got here, beginning the second week I was here, going to an event on 
a weekend and doing a write up about it.  guidelines are good and should be 
kept in tact.  But there are always exceptions.  And yes, the questions can 
get into, where do you draw the line?
  But to me, someone who has already been on an editorial collective in 
another town right there should be an exception.  Not only that, but one who 
has been actively covering events and posting articles ever since she got 
into town and is now a co-host of the imc radio show should also be an 
exception.  The three meeting rule is good.  But the rule should be expanded 
to judge a person by their works, not solely by their attendance to 
meetings.  If that were the case, most of you all wouldn't be a part of the 
collective since not many people show up for meetings anyway.
  Speaking of that, since you do place so much emphasis on attendance of 
three meetings in order to have admin. status, yet not everyone from the 
collective or very few people show up each time, what does that say to the 
person who is the "prospective administrator?"  What does that say to the 
weight that meetings alone should carry?
  Why stick to something just for the sake of sticking with it when it 
overrides reason?
