[Imc-communication] [Fwd: [www-features] Permission to use IMC's logo in New Edition of The BETTER WORLD HANDBOOK]

[andrés]

Thanks Alster.

At first glance this is almost exclusively US-oriented, far more focused 
on environmetal than on socio-political issues, and very close to 
indymedia's open ethos.

On the other hand, there may not be too much too offensive about it, and 
it may indeed be a publication read by some people who would go on from 
there to look more closely at what indymedia tries to do.

If the editors had really looked into what indymedia is and how it 
works, they'd have realised that we would need more information and time 
to try to take such a decision.

Bottom line: I for one would probably be in favour of letting them print 
the basic logo, whether it requires 'formal' permission or not (isn't it 
more of a 'no-logo'?). But I also doubt that the collectives would be 
able to agree to that in the time available.
