[New-imc] IMC AMBAZONIA new-imc internal DEADLINE SUN 1 DEC 2002 23:59 GMT

[boud]

Hi all,
   i think vally's extremely prompt, rapid and clear responses to both my
questions and that of petros:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2002-November/004236.html
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2002-November/004242.html
leave no doubt that IMC Ambazonia is ready for internal approval.

IMHO, the flame war which interrupted on imc-finance is something
which petros and vally can sort out separately and is irrelevant to
the issue of IMC Ambazonia approval to the network.  i respect both
petros and vally and i am sure that with continued patience,
sensitivity and acceptance of each others' sensitivities, they will
work this out.
