[Imc-communication] global.indymedia.org is no longer - brisbane.indy too

[Cameron Gregg]

Hi all,

nobody has responded to this yet.

Also, brisbane.indymedia.org is a similar situation. brisbane indy was 
disaffiliated some years ago, but the site remained archived (no 
publishing) on conway.cat.org.au, and also remains on the cities list. 
So like global.indy, it has been lost in the server meltdown.

Seeing as both of these sites were in an archived state and are now 
longer accessible, and won't be recovered, what is to be done?

I think it's a good idea to keep the cities list up to date. What is the 
process for getting global.indymedia.org and brisbane.indymedia.org 
removed from the cities list and DNS? Does this have to go through 
imc-process or in this situation should I contact the appropriate 
working groups myself? (what are the appropriate working groups?).
