[Imc-finance] IMC BEIRUT PROPOSAL PASSED JUNE 13, 2003

[Sheri Herndon]

hi everyone,

here's the original proposal and date for deadline of june 13 for passing this proposal.  the proposal was for $450.  i believe this money should be distributed quickly to imc-beirut.  if there are no blocks or concerns, can we simply do this and apologize for taking such a long time to respond to this proposal that went through the regular process.  sorry imc-beirut folks.  we obviously need to have more people participating in this collective process here on imc-finance!

ciao
sheri

Indymedia Uruguay supports this proposal.

We met and discussed it our national meeting this past weekend and 
discussed the proposal. We had consensus to support it.

in solidarity,
evan
