[CIMC-working] weighin-in on proposal: index of global posts

[Elizabeth Fraser]

This is elizabeth (tech)--I know I'd be more likely to follow a weekly
compilation.  Notes on issues that really apply to chicago or our region
would be a big help. (I confess that when I saw all the bickering coming
from a few other groups--I stopped reading.  A compilation with a note
on what really needs our attention would be a big help.)--eliz

Subject: [CIMC-working] proposal: index of global posts


Hi Chris and all,

There are a lot of important global imc network posts going onto mailing 
lists these days.

It looks like the imc network might reorganize regionally or go to a new 
level of decentralized coordination in the next half year.  There maybe 
lots of strategy talk at local, regional and global network levels. This 
will generate a whole lot of posts.

To start to track this now, I suggest that Chris and others present a 
weekly or every two week index of important posts, organized by mailing 
list and topic.

If there are a whole lot of messages, several indexes in one week could be 
created, e.g., finance, process/strategy/resolve, tech...

Any time critical or key global posts could be released individually.

Discussions of posts locally would of course generate our own strings.

I suggest we discuss and approve something like this at the next c-imc 
meeting this Sunday.

Thinking how to make this doable:
Perhaps we could team up with a couple of other locals to create weekly 
summaries for locals, so that one person doesn't bear this burden.  I think 
UK imc does some of this.

Very helpful in this is the initiative started by Roving and Rona in the 
global network summaries wg to call for summaries of various lists.  Such 
summaries are being created now and sent out by the summaries list.  But, 
those could be a bit overwhelming to follow.  What I am talking about above 
is different: sort of a summary of the summaries for general local interest 
with links to a handful key posts...

Best, Doug
