[New-imc] can an individual block an IMC?

[Jay]

Hi,

A few days ago there was an idea raised on this list to clarify our policy 
about what has to happen for an IMC to be blocked.  Can any individual from 
the network block an IMC?  Or, should we make a clear policy that only an 
IMC should be able to put up a block?

I do think the latter makes sense, and would support it.  I certainly think 
individuals throughout the network should always be able to make their 
dissent heard, through all of the communication mechanisms we have.  Also, 
as in the case of the Rogue IMC, any individual's own block can, and 
should, cause serious reevaluation of a new-imc's application.  Perhaps we 
could write that explicitly into any proposal.  But, we do have over 100 
IMCs in the network, and I think if none of them feels strongly enough as a 
group to block a new IMC from joining the network, we should defer to that 
judgement.

Anyone up for putting together language of a proposal to that end?  Or, 
perhaps that language has already appeared somewhere on this list over the 
last couple weeks?
