[New-imc] EUGENE (decision deadline - 23:00 GMT November 30, 2001)

(i never sent this.....huge apologies.  i'm still figuring out eudora)

hi everyone,

the eugene imc has provided their introductory essay and has 
responded to the criteria and principles of unity.  i posted their 
responses two weeks ago and their essay has been on line since 
september.  it's now time to move them through the final stages of 
this process.  i recently was driving through eugene and met with 
some of the people involved in the eugene collective to talk about 
how things were going.  i think they are really moving forward in a 
good way.  they will probably be on a server other than stallman, 
which will increase decentralization, and they have alot of great 
tech support for web design and other things (still need support for 
active i imagine).  i've been talking with a few global geeks who 
have offered to help them.  also, they have just set up an imc-eugene 
list so they can start getting organized that way as well.

i think they're ready to be approved by imc-process if there are no 
outstanding concerns here.

thanks all.
