[Imc-mayday-collective] Response to Jimdog's plea for reflection email

[Radicale]

Okay, I am amending my own proposal:-


Hello,

Jimdog, a member of Northern Indymedia, bethemedia, and the new IMC group has stated that the Mayday collective would be in breach of POU 6 if the UK network fork does not proceed on May 1st. The Mayday collective wishes to reiterate point 4 of our statement sent on 27th April 2011 which highlights that POU 6 has not been broken:-

"B group is claiming there was consensus on forking and going ahead with all changes on 1 May irrespective of our status at that time, we dispute this, the agreement was based on a.indymedia.org and b.indymedia.org — our understanding of the consensus was that the fork depended on us having an indymedia.org sub-domain to move to. If B group don't want an  indymedia.org sub-domain that's fine, but our position is that we do, and at the Bradford meeting we agreed to the fork on that basis."

On the contrary, if member(s) of the bethemedia collective were to take steps to archive the www.indymedia.org.uk website on May 1st in breach of the conditions of the agreement at the Bradford meeting, they would be breaking POU 6:-

"All IMC's recognize the importance of process to social change and are committed to the development of non-hierarchical and anti-authoritarian relationships, from interpersonal relationships to group dynamics. Therefore, shall organize themselves collectively and be committed to the principle of consensus decision making and the development of a direct, participatory democratic process] that is transparent to its membership."


We hope this clarifies matters.

In solidarity,


Mayday collective
