[Imc-africa] Delegates list for alternative(indymedia) Conference in Senegal(20/12/03)

[sphinx]

-Request of  delegates  list for participation in the Alternative(indymedia)
Conference in Dakar Senegal from 1st to the 14th March 2004.

For months now, we have in the frame of encouraging the development of indymedia
in Africa, embarked on arrangements to participate in the “boundaries to bridges
tour”. The tour organised by activists of a host of other activists groups began
in September in Andalusia-Spain; is to go through Morocco, Mauritania and to end
in Senegal in March 2004. The hope is to introduce indymedia to the activists in
communities in these countries. In the same light in the two weeks of
alternative media festival in the frame of the tour- to take place in Senegal,
we plan to hold an alternative(indymedia) media conference, in which we hope to
bring together both those involved already in indymedia in africa and other
media activists to take an in dept look at indymedia.  This far we’ve had a
series of  IRC meetings. We did try  to incorporate the imc-Morocco project
which the activists of imc-Madiaq have been into for a while now.  The last most
important meeting took place between imc-Madiaq folks and forming imc-Morocco
folks on the 8-9th November 2003 in Tanger Morocco. 
Presently the rest of the other activists involved in the tour will as well be
in Morocco for the entire December. We are as well trying to make contacts with
activists from Mauritania with the help of some activists  from imc-Lille in
France. 

Unfortunately we’ve not been able to have experienced imc-activists in the
present touring group this far, to help with imc workshops thus at this point it
is more about getting contact with activists to have them come over to the
Senegal conference. 

This is a request for those who can afford to be in Senegal for the conference
to indicate so that we can write a budget for the conference as soon as possible
that will include the flight tickets of those who wish to participate but cannot
afford the fair. We also need to go about organising invitations for visas for
those who need them.

The last proposal  in the discussions that have mostly been taking place through
IRCmeetings    is as follows  :
-6 volunteer activists with an experience in the indymedia network process and
technicality are required to help in running workshops. This activists simply
need to inform their local imcs and their local imc needs to simply endorse them
or a network working group in which they have been involved in. 
-The three approved african and the two semi-african imcs via South Africa,
Nigeria Ambazonia, Canaries and Madiaq  have space for three(3) delegates each;
 2  of the delegates  are to be members of their imc and the third could be a
media activists with potential for being involved in indymedia.
-Forming imcs in Africa have place for 2 delegates, via; Angola, Kenya, Morocco,
Egypt,  Algeria, Congo, Zimbabwe.    
-Activists from the countries were the tour will go through have space for 2
delegates, via; Senegal, Mauritania, Morocco(already have a forming imc).

*ALL IMCS/VOLUNTEERS ARE EXPECTED indicate by email to the imc-africa list
LATEST 20 th December 2003. So we could start searching for the funds necessary
to cover their transport fair.
