i suggest writing to them publicly with a cc to new-imc and give them
a reasonable deadline (3 days? after all, the previous imc has been
inactive for something like a year or so, so they can hardly
complain).

If they don't respond, then IMHO it should be possible to have
consensus on new-imc for a choice of "neutral" admins.


jenka, petros: can you please propose some names (emails) of people
mutually acceptable as admins for the imc-palestine mailing list?




After there is consensus on new-imc, i would expect that an email
to   listwork at indymedia org   should be enough - but listwork will
most likely check the new-imc archives to see if there is consensus here.

Most new imc groups *do* take months to get organised. Non-hierarchical
process is something new for most of us - good intentions are not 
enough, learning new skills and habits is also necessary if we want
to produce non-hierarchical, non-authoritarian structures.

Since people have been meeting, talking, planning, it should not be 
difficult for them to go through the process, including discussing
petros' concerns one-by-one on the imc-palestine list once it is 
reopened.

> are you the boud with india imc?

Yes, except that IMHO the word "with" is exaggerated - i've been
playing a weak support role - see
  https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/ImcIndia
for more info about the history of IMC India over the past 4 1/2 years.
Please correct any misleading/incorrect information there or add
supplementary information. It's a wiki.
