[Imc-finance] out of principes of unity. Proposal bloqued

[frank]

Sebastian,

Out of curiousity, what if the Ford Foundation gave a grant to a specific
IMC?  Could that IMC (say, for example, Houston, Texas IMC) use that money
without hurting Argentina IMC's reputation?

I'm not asking this to be argumentative, I just want to be able to
understand exactly the parameters of this for Argentina IMC.

Thanks,
Frank Salerno
Atlanta IMC

is something that don't take care of Indymedia Argentina and put a serius
danger a collective very involved with a local comunity.

Argentinian site have one of the biggest trafic of the indymedia network
(you can consult tech background about it in #sfkids). i think this show
that there is a community in the background of indymedia argentina.
