congo.indymedia.org
-- Chicago IMC approval

hoi,
if necessary for the formal process, Indymedia Netherlands as a lisaon
puts forward the proposal that Brian made some days earlier. If not
necessary, we just support it.

We would also propose to take climate of the cities list, as it is
broken for about 9 months, and by now shows an empty page. Some
indidivuals of the former editorial group in the Netherlands support it,
some others did not answer in the last months.

Love and solidarity
Clara
