IMC BOMBAY/MUMBAI NEW-IMC DEADLINE 18:00 GMT FRI 9 AUG 2002

Hi everyone,
   It's clear that IMC Mumbai/Bombay is now ready for new-imc 
approval.

The general responses to the membership criteria are here:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2002-July/003793.html

The initial mission statement is here:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2002-July/003791.html

A discussion on an initial editorial policy is here:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2002-August/003896.html

and the site is up and running:
http://mumbaidada.bandwidthcoop.org/

There has been some discussion on grassroots involvement, with many
comments from the locals, the URLs that i could find are listed here:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2002-August/003895.html

and noone from new-imc has asked for any delays.

So, with great pleasure, i'm putting IMC Mumbai/Bombay up for
new-imc internal approval. The deadline for any comments (or objections)
is 

18:00 GMT Fri 9 AUG 2002
i.e. 12:30 IST Fri 9 AUG 2002 (indian stretchable time ;)


A (nearly) trivial comment: IMC Mumbai people, at some point you'll
need to decide in what way you want your site listed on the 

http://www.indymedia.org/cities.inc

and the 

http://www.indymedia.org/contact.php3 

files - cities.inc includes all the recognised IMCs,
contact.php3 also includes approved (but not yet having a site) and
requested (not yet approved) IMCs - but getting these changed is a
slightly mysterious process, so unless you say clearly what you want,
(whether "Mumbai" or "Mumbai/Bombay" or "Bombay"), you might get an
option different to the one you want...  

For aliases, there should be no problem having several aliases,
e.g. bombay.indymedia.org *and* mumbai.indymedia.org.
