> I had very little time during the planned Dakar

> But had time today and was so pleasantly suprised.
> The people who were there did a wonderful job, by the

> I wouold like to know more about the positive outcome.

> Did anybody do a radio inview and if so what will

> 
> Were there many film clips made and which issues did
> these films have?
> 
> Is there going to be a Dakar-Senegal Indymedia
> group-if so how exciting. can someone please let me
> know what kind of interests does this group have?
> 
> I read, with  sadness the email exchange over a 100 US
> $ -Houston what a shame-the money was more than well
> worth spent from our perspective.
> 
> Was there ever a proper proposal with a full budget
> sumbitted, for the conference that took place?
> It would be interesting to reveiw it, considering the
> the statements and questions asked on the site and in
> the various mails.
> 
> I had a friend who attended to conference and he was
> rather afraid to ask some questions, important to him.
> 
> We talked and I feel these questions need to be
> answered.
> 
> 1) It is common  knowledge that the Urban Community
> -USA gave money for a ticket for somebody-we
> understand from the mails to sphinx.
> Also from information he did not attend the
> conference.
> Is this common practice within the indymedia network
> not to account for cash collected and allocated?
> 
> How is process understood and what level of
> participation is one as newcomer able to play.
> 
> As brand newcomer what funders are we able to
> approach? Is there a policy in indymedia -who do and
> who won't we take money from?
> 
> When will NeBe post the full account onto the site
> sothat we are able to be informed-how much a project
> like this costs?
> 
> The money given for the African delegation is still
> all a mystery to many people even the African
> delegation themselves. Who got it and  what conditions
> are people talking about.
> 
> chema this is a question to you. Reading from the
> mails I believe you have an interest in setting up a
> similar regional meetings would this not be an
> opportunity to work together to exchange experiences.
> 
> My friend from the Congo tells me that the idea of a
> southern African caravan/conference was raised as an
> idea which found favour with many people.
> Only, however the main condition as a suggestion is
> that this idea needs to be something, the regional
> groups agree to and plan together with any other
> groups. 
>> From the CD that all delegates got I read there is a
> planning document,  after the evaluation that  was put
> together by the South African woman. Suggesting people
> ask themselves if and what they would like to get
> involved with, if such an idea would be discussed.
> Practical questions in connect with actual planning,
> concepts, policy, budgets etc..
> 
> A question to the South African Indymedia people-will
> you be taking up this idea? If so I am really
> interested.
> 
> The Berlin people were very much in favour of this
> idea, I heard.
> 
> 
> The idea  was proposed to possibily happen in two
> years time. This seems more realistic than the idea of
> a meeting in Kenya. Much lobby and advocacy work can
> be done in the meantime, in countries where  the
> indymedia concept has not arrived yet.
> 
> There was a discussion of including the 11 Southern
> African countries in the planning.
> What a wonderful idea.
> Also discussed was the idea to start in South Africa
> and end in Angola.
> We are a bit disappointed, no the South Africans were
> in Dakar. 
>> From my travelling/experience of/to South Africa last
> year I saw and heard much about the work and that they
> are well organised and have really engaged people
> working on substantial issues. In Park Town.
> 
> Will there be a chat time for this idea?
> 
> 
> The South African woman, who organised much of the
> conference in Dakar apprears to have the contact and
> experience, is she with indymedia a long time?
> 
> I really will have the time and desire to get
> involved. The idea of a caravan and a chat discussion
> will be great.
> Does anybody know who will start it.
