> Hi Nick
> Apologies for post but if we could have solved these

> real need for a global forum for conflict resolution
> in the imc network if we are to sustain this
> infrastructure for the long term - something more
> engaged and structured than the resolve list.
>
> The lack of a conflict resolution mechanism - is
> taking its toll on various collectives - NYC, SF come
> to mind but there are more imc's that have fallen
> apart or fractured as a result of unresolved conflict.

>
> For us in nyc, this problem has been interfering with
> media making, and has deeply wounded people, (myself
> included) and continues to undermine the potential and
> functionality of indymedia.

> imc, violating basic standards of consensus, etc...
> interfering with both media making and activist
> organizing?

> How do we protect ourselves from that kind of thing,
> as well as COINTELPRO, etc.. its become a real problem
> - and saying "just deal with it" - without adequate
> tools - isn't going to really help.
>
> Tell me who or where to take this that would be in
> your mind, more appropriate than global process.
