[New-imc] Proposed Nepal IMC

[Trickster Coyote]

Dear New Lists,

My name is Stephen Mikesell, currently with IMC-Madison and a volunteer with WORT-FM in Madison and a friend of the person involved in starting the IMC-India. 
I worked in Nepal for 9 years as anthropologist and journalist. 

Over the last three months I have been coordinating the organizing of people for forming a new IMC in Nepal. I had set up an organizing list a couple of 
months back, but we chose not to use it as none of us wanted to join the 100 or so journalists who have been abducted or killed by the government in Nepal, 
which has been under emergency in an insurgency war.

Now there is a core group including journalists, anthropologists, and medical doctors (including the president of Physicians for Social Responsibility) who 
feel they are ready for setting up the IMC webpage. All of them already have long experience publishing or writing for newspapers, magazines, and/or 
professional journals. All are progressive politically and have been involved in a variety of ways in struggle. They have had organizational meetings and are 
now ready for the next step.

Yours,
Stephen Mikesell
