(f.y.i. -- I'm discussing organizational management of information) Re: [CIMC-work] Unable to attend today's meeting

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Dorina, CIMC, all,

I'm not at the meeting right now, and I don't really have anything 
agenda-related to add right now.

As an aside, I'm finding your 'process,' below, Dorina, to be very 
interesting in that I think it's a good way to handle sensitive topics. 
You're openly referencing a specific CIMC-related discussion, without 
going through the time and bother to introduce it to more people than 
necessary (via this list). And you're also indicating ways you'd be 
open to sharing the information to selected parties in the future.


I'm also bringing up a larger point that flows of information are a 
critical issue for any organization, but particularly for Indymedia 
since it's basically aligned to represent ( -- if only at least by 
collectivizing the news of -- ) repressed and underrepresented groups 
of people.

I think it's horrible anytime someone has to experience the realities 
of "in" cliques and "out" people within revolutionary/liberatory 
organizations, regarding information availability. Of course it's a 
gray area and right or wrong depends on each particular situation, 
within an overall sea of capitalist exploitation and racisms.

So thanks, from me, for providing a useful model.


Chris
