Hello Bassem,

Thanks for writing.
 
I hope you have seen through the materials and
guidelines, and I hope that it’s clear that the
technical side of things is the least important.
Organizing a local Beirut- imc group which operates as
a collective according to imc guidelines, is the most
important task. 

Can you tell us a bit about your group of colleagues, 
your meetings, etc?

Taking inspiration from a recent letter by Boud, I
guess it'a good thing to refer to this page:

"THE NEW-IMC PROCESS:
Please look up the 
http://newimc.indymedia.org
site, in particular the ten steps:

> 1.Pre-organizing: the first step is to talk with people in your community
and try to get the sense if there is interest in
forming an IMC. 

> 2.Look at the documents linked at this site (see below). 

> 3.When you think you're really ready to do some good organizing, fill out
the form at the bottom of this page. 

> 4.Open a mailing list: newlist.indymedia.org 

> 5.O - R - G - A - N - I - Z - E !!!! 

> 6.With your forming collective, write a mission statement (see below) and
editorial policy, maybe contact imc-tech at this stage. 

> 7.When you're really ready, and only when you're ready, reply to each of
the membership criteria points one by one, and send to
> new-imc at indymedia.org. 

> 8.Your new-imc contact proposes your site to new-imc, if no one blocks
within 3 days, this is passed to imc-process; if no one
blocks
> there within 7 days, you become part of the network and are put on the
cities.inc list once your web site is ready. 

> 9.The fun begins. Get involved in the global lists and Indymedia
discussions and decisions. Offer to work with other
IMCs from your area
> or elsewhere around the world. Do good work. 

> 10.Change the world, for the better of course. We wouldn't expect
anything less. "

You might begin by re-activating the imc- Beirut email
group, which seems to be unused?

Thanks,
Petros
