salut, (fr, sorry)

juste une petite réflexion, bien que j'aprécie ce genre de mail
consensuel ;)

D'accord, à Paris il y a autant de population qu'en belgique, et il
faut 2 heures pour traverser les pays, alors que c'est le temp qu'il
faut pour faire NYC, ...
C'est cependant un raccourci facile le fait de mesurer la diversité au
nbre d'habitants. La belgique est certes un petit pays, mais avec 3 (2
grosses) communautés linguistiques et 3 régions. Maintenant, faut pass
être naïf, un IMC à aarschot ou à Bastogne, ca n'a pas beaucoup de
sens, mais faire des IMC dans les "grandes" villes du pays (il n'y en
pas tant que ça), je ne vois pas où les problèmes. Créer un IMC local
ne veut pas dire obligatoirement parler des évènements locaux, mais
aussi, comment cette partie du globe pense et comprends le monde?
Avoir un IMC local permet aussi des contacts avec les collaborateurs,
qu'un national ne permet pas (on dit souvent que liège-bruxelles,
c'est 1 heures; le trajet du train, ok, mais avec le reste des
déplacements, c'est le double + le cout du train, c'est kan meme plus
cher que le metro qu'on ne paye pas;)

je n'ai jamais dit que j'étais contre un IMC belge (alors que certains
voudrait me faire dire des choses que je n'ai pas dite), je dis
simplement que chez nous, on a encore beaucoup de travail, et que
cette question passe en second plan (pour moi et certains)

je passerai probablement à l'AG de .be
