i thought the PoU was what defined indymedia in the first place, regardless
of its draft status, how many collective didn't state they would stick
to them ?

if a collective that stated that it would follow the PoU doesnt, then its
participation to a network that is defined by the very same PoU can be
questionned.  it's not like such a collective is evil, they're just not
part of *that* network.  this is not the same as enforcing the PoU upon
people.

this is very bizarre to have that token discussed now, the PoU is pretty
much what made that I was involved in indymedia, i'm convinced it's the
same for 99% of folks.
