[New-imc] DRAFT 0.7

[Petros Evdokas]

Hi again,

Below is a shorter version of the proposed statement, which includes 
everything I felt (or thought) that so far we all agree on. It's open of 
course to your proposals and modifications.

DRAFT 0.7
PROPOSAL from "New IMC"

We propose to the IMCN, through its liaisons on "imc-process", to accept
this Statement by consensus as a shared understanding of the basis upon
which the work of the new-imc working group should proceed.

STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING ARAFURA & DARWIN IMC'S:

1) This statement concerns the IMC Darwin collective, who started their 
new-imc process in May 2004 [1] and whose membership in the Indy Media 
Center Network (IMCN) was accepted by consensus of "IMC process" in July 
2004 [2]. The group has entered a severe internal conflict.

2) Two collectives are now based in Darwin, both of which have candidate 
status with new-imc.

Their email lists are here:

	http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-arafura

3) The new-imc working group has been working together with both of them
towards the common goal of each of them being proposed by new-imc to
imc-process as member collectives of the IMCN.

4) The IMC Darwin collective accepted into IMCN membership in 2004 was
never formally "disaffiliated" from the IMCN on  imc-process.

5) We are proposing that neither of the collectives with which we are 
now working should have use of those things which are contingent upon 
full membership in the IMCN (such as, for example, the use of a 
".indymedia.org" domain name for their websites) at this time.
