please don't wait :-)
It's good to get sites up and running before they're official. They won't be
in the cities list & they wont have the "imcname.indymedia.org" before
they're official, but there's really no reason why they wouldn't be online
before they're official.


> 2) someone has to tell us who within the group should have access to the
website and the server. i assume that decision will  be made within each
group.

yes.

> however, how do we determine who is authorized to convey that information
to us? in the past,  this has been done in a very ad hoc manner. usually one
person's name and email address is plastered over the application and email
list and i have worked with that person.

// I think that's the right method.

istanbul. which have been approved?

cyprus is approved. CFL, I don't know, sorry :-)
If you're in imc-tech or proces list, you'll normally get a mail 'Welcme IMC
x" when they're approved.
