[CIMC-work] French listserve

[Garth Liebhaber]

That was my inclination as well.  my vote is behind Don as 
well.  I was rather shocked that they would deny it without 
even a conversation with these folks?  specifically: raise 
their concern.  cultural imperialism is what.

Chris K,

Who are these global people to decide, without 
consensus, to reject a
request for an EMAIL LIST!

I vote to have C-IMC protest this arbitrary abuse of power 
by [maillist
administrators??] (as well as their mistaken history).

(Paris, Lille,
