Dear IMC,

What does IMC do if there is significant dissatisfaction with a local IMC?
In other words, suppose a local IMC is consistently not living up to the
standards of being an IMC (are there any such standards?  what if a
collective is taken over by a bunch of neo-Nazis?).  Does the national
(global?) IMC ever revoke an IMC website?

What if somebody wants to form an IMC in a city where there already exists
an IMC?  Suppose there's a "split" in the local IMC collective, a
substantive disagreement over tactics or policy.  For example, some
collectives moderate their posts, others do not.  Suppose somebody gets fed
up with the VolksFront posting on the site, and decides to split off to
start up a new site, with moderated posting.  What does IMC do?

In case there's any doubt, these are not "academic" questions.  I want to
know what the options are for media activists.

Many thanks,

Will Seaman
