( Groupes qui vous supportent )

Nous avons contact=E9 des groupes pour les encourager =E0 participer avec
des articles. Quelques tels rapports article-connexes ont =E9t=E9 =E9tablis
(avec Solidarity for Six Nations et Global Importune, commes exemples).

Des membres sont impliqu=E9s dans d'autres groupes, y compris les comit=E9s
le Regional Social Forum.

Nous avons travaill=E9 pour =E9tablir un rapport avec les projets de
terrains communautaires et des groups alternative en Londres, et nous
continuons =E0 faire ainsi.

Nous devons certainement faire beaucoup plus pour =E9tablir des rapports
avec des groupes de la communaut=E9.

( introductory_statement )

Dans la solidarit=E9 avec le r=E9seau global d'Indymedia, nous travaillons
pour =E9tablir un centre de participation de la communaut=E9 pour la r=E9gio=
n
de Londres. En accord avec Indymedia, notre projet est collectif,
non-hi=E9rarchique, et inclus. Les publications d'Ontario CMI donnent une
voix aux gens qui ont tendu =E0 =EAtre exclus des m=E9dias traditionnels.=
  Nous
abordons des =E9v=E9nements et des questions locale avec l'information, des
perspectives, et une analyse que les m=E9dias traditionnels tend =E0 ne pas
offrir.

Tout en construisant un IMC =E0 Londres, Ontario, nous esp=E9rons =E9galemen=
t
renforcer le r=E9seau d'Indymedia -- en particulier IMCs canadien, qui
g=E9n=E9ralement ont =E9t=E9 faibles et d'isolement les uns des autres.

---

( resources: )

En plus du contenu qui est cr=E9=E9 pour Londres, emplacement d'Ontario
Indymedia, aussi bien que l'organisation cela est fait dans notre
communaut=E9 :

Toban est quelque peu au courant des listes, des proc=E9dures, et des
documents d'exp=E9dition internationaux. Il a l'intention d'=EAtre un
participant actif au niveau international.

Kirk a des qualifications de technologie =E0 offrir.

Nous projetons faire la collecte de fonds pour contribuer CMI =E0
Hamilton, notre centre serveur. Nous voudrions =E9galement contribuer des
fonds au r=E9seau plus grand d'Indymedia.

---

( outreach: )

Il y a eu beaucoup de d=E9placement parmi la communaut=E9 locale
d'activiste, qui entoure un =E9ventail de personnes -- quoiqu'avec
certaines tendances en termes d'=E2ge, etc... Cependant, la grande
majorit=E9 de ceci d=E9passent parmi des activistes de Londres s'est
produite en ligne, de ce fait tendant =E0 exclure certains groupes=
  l=E9g=E8rement.

Des efforts ont =E9t=E9 faits de se relier aux gauchistes de lyc=E9e=
  (apparent
il y a les clubs sociaux de justice en ville, mais nous
n'avons pas pu faire le contact avec eux).

L'un de nous a rencontr=E9 un immigr=E9 d'Iran pour discuter travailler =E0
une publication multilingue d'impression, dont une partie serait dans
Farsi (persan).

Des r=E9unions multiples ont =E9t=E9 organis=E9es avec quelqu'un avec des
raccordements =E0 la communaut=E9 indig=E8ne locale, mais ces r=E9unions=
  sont
tomb=E9es =E0 travers et le contact a =E9t=E9 perdu.

Nous =E9vitons se concentrer sur l'universit=E9 'blanche' riche locale.

Nous avons discut=E9 ayant une session =E0 commande manuelle pour enseigner
aux gens comment employer l'emplacement.

---

( identity_makeup )

Notre groupe n'est pas certainement aussi divers qu'il pourrait =EAtre.
Nous pouvons faire bien mieux.

---

( steps_represent_diversity )

Nous =E9tablissons des rapports avec les groupes de la communaut=E9 qui
travaillent avec le d=E9savantag=E9, les minorit=E9s, et les femmes. Nous
essayons de trouver des moyens de porter nos r=E9unions =E0 la connaissance
de ces segments de la communaut=E9, qui voudra dire l'essai de se relier
aux personnes par les arrangements en diff=E9r=E9.

Nous avons =E0 plusieurs reprises discut=E9 des issues de diversit=E9 dans=
  le
pass=E9, et nous continuerons =E0 faire ainsi. Les issues de diversit=E9
devront =EAtre =E0 plusieurs reprises revisit=E9es de sorte que nous=
  puissions
=E9valuer l'=E9tat de notre groupe, et proposer des strat=E9gies aux groupes
sous-repr=E9sent=E9s par contact.

Par exemple, des efforts exceptionnels seront faits d'inviter les
groupes sous-repr=E9sent=E9s =E0 nos r=E9unions, et encouragent ces groupes=
  =E0
=E9crire pour l'emplacement.


---

( steps_involve_new_workfields )

Des sessions non-daignant pratiques de skillshare seraient utiles. Le
groupe discutera =E0 plusieurs reprises les options pour les gens qui
voudrait essayer un nouveau m=E9tier, et comment de telles personnes
peuvent gagner les qualifications appropri=E9es.

Nous pourrions =E9galement compiler des instructions utile (par example
pages Web). Nous avons discut=E9 compiler quelques des conseils d'=E9criture
(qui ne seraient pas pr=E9scriptifs -- nous sommes ouverts =E0 tout types
d'=E9criture).

---

( What measures will be taken to overcome a gendered work division? )

Nous nous assurerons que les gens sait qu'ils sont bienvenus pour
essayer d'aider avec la technologie utilis=E9 ou le travail administratif.
Si quelqu'un qui se sent autrement, nous nous adresserons =E0 cette
division lors des r=E9unions.

----------------------------------------

CRIT=C8RES D'ADH=C9SION AU CMI

( =CAtre d'accord avec l'=C9nonc=E9 de Mission du NIMC et avec les Principes
d'Unit=E9 )

Oui. Absolument.

---

( Compter sur suffisamment de membres pour assurer la fonctionalit=E9 d'un
CMI )

Oui. Il y a 18 abonn=E9s sur notre liste courielle, et 5 membres avaient
assist=E9 =E0vec les r=E9unions. Un plus petit nombre de personnes avait=
  pris
la majorit=E9 de la travail pour CMI, mais nous essayer de diviser le
travail aussi =E9quitablement que possible pour que l'CMI peut =EAtre
soutenable dans le long terme, m=EAme si certains membres se d=E9placent ou
s=92inscire =E0 d'autres projets.

---

( Avoir des r=E9unions ouvertes et publiques (aucun CMI ne peut =EAtre
contr=F4l=E9 exclusivement par un seul groupe) )

Oui. Nos r=E9unions sont g=E9n=E9ralement annonc=E9es aux activistes locaux=
  (par
d'une liste d'e-mail de non-Indymedia, et d'un emplacement local de
m=E9dias alternative), et tout sauf une de nos r=E9unions ont =E9t=E9 tenus=
  dans
les endroits publics. Dans la future, nous commencerons =E0 montrer les
temps et les endroits de nos r=E9unions sur notre site Web.

---

( Travailler sur le d=E9veloppement d'une version locale d'un =C9nonc=E9 de
Mission ou d'un =C9nonc=E9 de But. L'=C9nonc=E9 de Mission du R=E9seau peut=
  =EAtre
utilis=E9 dans l'interim )

Oui. Bien que nous avons adopt=E9 l'=E9nonc=E9 de mission du r=E9seau, nous
avons travaill=E9 ensemble pour cr=E9er des documents (par exemple une
pamphlet) qui incluent des morceaux d'un =E9nonc=E9 de mission de la groupe.
Nous avons =E9galement discut=E9 notre mission dans des r=E9unions- ces=
  id=E9es
ou d=E9clarations seront compil=E9s dans un =E9nonc=E9 de mission =E9bauche=
  qui
sera discut=E9 lors de notre prochaine r=E9union.

---

( =C9tablir et publier une politique =E9ditoriale qui est d=E9velopp=E9e et=
  qui
fonctionne =E0 partir d'un processus d=E9mocratique et transparent )

Oui. Nous avons eu notre politique =E9ditoriale pendant au moins quelques
mois (voir http://freedom.2y.net/wiki/London_Indymedia/Editorial_policy).
Cette politique sera revisit=E9e dans des r=E9unions en future, ainsi que
des d=E9cisions =E9ditoriales potentiellement controvers=E9es seront=
  discut=E9es
sur notre liste courielle (si ceci n=92est pas accompli dans les r=E9unions)=
.

---

( Publier selon les crit=E8res de "Open Publishing" (publication libre)
tels que d=E9crits dans la politique =E9ditoriale du NIMC )

Oui. Nous avions employ=E9 "open publishing" (publication libre) de
dada-imc. On permet des poteaux anonymes, et il y a une section de
poteaux cach=E9e. L'intervention =E9ditoriale est minimal.

---

( Utiliser le consensus--les processus ouverts, transparents, et
=E9galitaires, pour prendre des d=E9cisions )

Oui. Notre approche au consensus a =E9t=E9 sans formalit=E9 -- par intuition
-- mais nous explorera d'autres options car le groupe se d=E9veloppe et
change. Nos r=E9unions sont ouvertes (voir ci-dessus). Pour le
transparent, les sommaires de nos r=E9unions ont =E9t=E9 d=E9taill=E9s=
  (voyez, par
example:
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/london-ontario-imc/2006-June/0606-0o.ht=
ml).

Notre utilisation d'une liste d'e-mail public d'Indymedia a augment=E9 les
processus ouverts et transparents.

---

( Avoir une ou plusieurs porte-paroles capables de participer dans le
processus global de d=E9cisions et aux r=E9unions en tant que repr=E9sentant=
e,
et qui comprend bien les responsabilit=E9s qui viennent avec ce r=F4le )

Oui. Toban agira en tant que liaison/representative pour l=92avenir
imm=E9diat. Mais il voudrait partager cette responsabilit=E9 avec d'autres
afin de r=E9duire son commande.

---

( Participer aux M=E9thodes de Discussion du R=E9seau CMI qui concernent la
sant=E9 et la vitalit=E9 du R=E9seau et qui contribuent au travail du CMI.
S'assurer qu'il y ait au moins une personne de votre CMI qui participe
sur la liste IMC-Communications (Communications-CMI) en tout temps )

Oui. Toban participera a la liste d'IMC-Communication pour l=92avenir
imm=E9diat(en plus de la liste de recherches). Toban encouragera d'autres
membres de lui rejoindre sur la liste de communication.

---

( Avoir aucune affiliation officielle =E0 un parti politique, =E9tat ou
candidat =E9lectoral (commentaires: mais les diff=E9rents producteurs ont la
libert=E9 de faire ce qu'elles/ils veulent et les CMI locaux peuvent
=E9crire des textes =E0 propos de partis politiques et initiatives=
  politiques )

Oui. Le groupe a discut=E9 ces issues lors des r=E9unions. Aucun membre n'a
les cravates ou les attachements significatifs =E0 un =E9tat, =E0 une=
  partie,
ou =E0 un candidat donn=E9e. Personne n'a montr=E9 un int=E9r=EAt en=
  employant
l'emplacement pour favoriser une telle politique, et il y a des membres
qui seraient fortement oppos=E9s =E0 des tels efforts.

---

( Les CMI ne doivent pas s'engager dans des entreprises commerciales =E0
profit. [Nous pourrions ajouter: Le NIMC est commis =E0 la
d=E9commercialisation de l'information et se d=E9sassociera des CMI locaux
qui d=E9cident de devenir des entreprises m=E9diatiques =E0 profit. )

Oui. Naturellement.

---

( Afficher une "version locale" du logo 'i' du CMI sur votre site et sur
votre litt=E9rature )

Oui. Nous avions montr=E9 le logo et nous continuerons fi=E8rement =E0 la=
  faire.

pr=E9f=E9rence sur la premi=E8re page du site )

Oui. Nous sommes, et nous voudrions faire cela (voir le
