Hi folks:

This is a formal proposal:

Given that I have heard no reply to my last posting copied below from any
member of the IMC Hamilton List and

Given that IMC Hamilton has not, in my opinion, met the requirements for
membership in the Global Indymedia Collective for a year or so.

I submit that to carry on as we are now is not in the best interests of the
IMC project in the large sense, or of IMC activity in Hamilton.

And I thus propose that the IMC Hamilton Collective as it presently exsists
be wound up and ended.

I further propose the following specifics with regard to the finances of
the IMC Hamilton Collective:

That the outstanding loan to Maggie H. for $200 for repairs to her computer
be forgiven.

I do not have a current balance for our account, but it is less than $75.

I propose that Andrew and I, who are the signing officers for the account
be given the mandate to close the account and use the funds as follows:

Firstly: To pay any outstanding debts of which we become aware. I don't
know of any, but I'll check with Andrew, and if any on this list know of
any now is the time to say so.

Secondly: To transfer any remaining funds to me in consideration for what I
have spent in internet fees keeping the site running on my server for the
last year. (my internet bill is $98 per month)

Our normal practice for the approval of proposals by email is that any
desent be expressed by email to the IMC hamilton email list list within 24
hours, I propose extending this time period to 96 hours for this proposal.

- ------------------------------------
My intentions:

Subject to the approval of this proposal I intend to keep the IMC Hamilton
website on line and attempt to create a working group affiliation with one
or more of the other IMC collectives in this area to enable the Hamilton
project to continue but in accord with IMC Global requirements and our
exsisting mission statement.
