[Imc-cymru] Wales United (Diversity) Kollective?

[ilyan]

Hello,

Do not call a meeting that clashes with the Anarchist Book Fair unless 
you want no subversives or IWWs to attend.- there is an IWW BIROC 
meeting in London then as well.

Ana was given the master password for this list at the first IMC UK 
meeting after this list became properly functional.  At IMC meetings, 
she was hard working, efficiently recording the minutes, and talking 
sense.    It was then some time before I found out I had to, and how to, 
properly enable her admin in this list site. 

Indycymru is waiting a response from new-imc since March this year to 
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-cymru/2006-March/0321-oy.html

Regards
Ilyan
