IMHO it would help to 'level the field', to reflect the diversity of 
ways of doing indymedia work in Belgium, to promote peaceful 
co-existence (and perhaps even more mutual understanding and aid), if as 
a first step imc-belgium would accept, for now, to let the global 
network take control of the belgium.indymedia.org url and point it to a 
neutral, independent web page from which *all* belgian imcs would be 
linked. And then let further mediation happen.

In fact, the imc-belgium server and all imc-belgium pages that I can see 
in the web use the url indymedia.be - at present belgium.indymedia.org 
works just like an alias for indymedia.be - so the integrity and history 
of your site would be largely unaffected: please correct me if I'm 
wrong. (eg. type in the url 
http://www.belgium.indymedia.org/features/circus/ and you actually go to 
http://www.indymedia.be/features/circus/ - btw the mediacircus looks 
like great grassroots work to my eyes, whoever finances it ;) ).

And perhaps the other belgian imcs would find in themselves less to 
complain about and more willingness to just concentrate on doing their 
own work their own way once this first step is resolved...
