[Imc-uk-process] indycymru

[ilyan]

Hello Tony,
There is one rather outstanding difference between the way I have run 
Indycymru, and the way  UKindymedia is run.  It is that I have been 
trying to run  indycymru on the Portuguese statement that was in the 
accepted IMCgroups' statements you directed to when Indycymru was 
starting.    That was not just news reporting, but publishing everything 
submitted, and arguing with all comers.    Trying to find my way back 
there brings up information that a site has been updated, and I cannot 
tell if it is the same site.    Ian is asking for sight of the original 
Portuguese policy that was accepted into IMC, can you help find it?    
Perhaps as they could not keep it up, it has been deleted, but it is all 
part of the learning process and should be in an archive somewhere..
Regards
Ilyan
