Subject: [CIMC-working] Tactical Media Fund issue -- proposed next steps

Doug, all,

In light of recent news about U-C IMC finance, the TMF, and Sascha's and
Brian's responses, I propose that we need to (in order of priority):

1. discuss these developments within CIMC (I still only see myself, Doug,
and Garth participating on this, our working list.)

2. discuss these developments with co-objectors (IMC-Argentina, etc.), on a=
n
open IMC list, with a heads-up note to a global list (maybe comm & finance)

3. THEN, possibly issue another CIMC response to U-C IMC / TMF

I don't currently support an immediate response to U-C IMC / TMF -- (we
haven't heard back from their finance or general collectives yet).


Chris
