[Imc-finance] Proposal 2004-F: Support for RNC Indymedia coverage -- up to $3, 000 U.S.

[Joeri]

hey,

answer Imc-wvl:
- we think imc-global won't have to fund this whole amount; so looking 
for other funding is very important we think
- the info about on what to spend the money is too vague in our opinion
- it's a pity the proposal wasn't done by the local collective
