[New-imc] updated "global indymedia overview"

[Petros Evdokas]

Jay, 

Thank you for doing all this work!

Some feedback: specifics first, and generics at the
end. I'll use dividers to keep it somewhat clear.

Specifics
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
In this paragraph:

"INDYMEDIA E-MAIL LISTS:
You may sign up for all lists and view all list
archives through
http://lists.indymedia.org.  Having someone from your
IMC active on the
lists marked with an * are strongly, strongly suggested
to keep in tune
with what's happening throughout the network."

Can we please replace the phrase "sign up for all
lists", with "sign up for the appropriate lists"?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In this paragraph:
"* Imc-communication at indymedia.org
The purpose of this list is to develop better
communication between the
local IMCs and to initiate a global Indymedia
communication structure.
Every IMC is asked to have someone on this list.  The
person from your IMC
on this list will bring issues being discussed
throughout the network back
into your local meetings so you can discuss them there
(and of course pass
a summary of your discussion back to the list)."

After the phrase "Every IMC is asked to have someone on
this list.", can we please add the following senstence?
: "This is a list for local/ regional/ global imc-
groups to communicate with each other through
liaisons." 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In this paragraph:
"* Imc-process at indymedia.org
People have used imc-process as a place to discuss the
organizational
structure of Indymedia.  It has also been a list for
people to raise any
and every issue they feel is important to the network. 
Lately it has also
been the list that formally accepts new imcs into the
network.  Your IMC
should have at least one person following conversations
here.  People are
also posting process documents and having process
discussions on the web at
http://global.indymedia.org.au and
http://internal.indymedia.org. "

Can we please replace the phrase "It has also been a
list for people to raise", with the phrase "It has also
been a list for individuals to raise" ?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

In this paragraph:

"New-imc at indymedia.org
The new-imc working group helps welcome aspiring IMCs
into the network by
answering their questions about Indymedia and by
working with them as they
advance through the new-imc process (described on
http://newimc.indymedia.org).  "

Would it be ok to add the phrase "The new-imc working
group works to ensure that candidate imc groups
understand the Indymedia Principles and Criteria of
Membership and encourages the groups to embody them
before joining the imc metwork" ?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Generics:

It's an excellent overview and Introduction!

It would be fair to ask the members of each of the
concerned imc- group (such as Process, Communication,
etc) at its email lists, to comment on these before we
post them. Each group may want to represent itself in a
different way to new imc's than we think, and it's fair
for us to be open to that. 

I have some more thoughts triggered by your writings,
but they actually relate to the wider re-structuring
that's happening in imc. If anyone wants to we can talk
about them, but I don't want them to be used as
obstructions to the work.

Thanks again Jay!
Petros
