kino, when we're dealing with something unusual like a domain name for
a site which does not yet have a local indymedia collective behind it,
we like to have clear proposals and decisions - it helps avoid
misunderstandings and angry feelings later on.

So i'm updating to Version-4 - if this is OK, then it'll be accepted
through imc-process within 10 days, i.e. by 3 Sep. It's only a week
before the event, but people have been misleadingly talking about
"cancun indymedia" anyway, so i don't think there's any reason to
complain about the delay - in a network where everybody disrespects
authority (it's in our principles of unity :)), the only control the
network has over any local site or collective is by clarity of
communication.

> cool?

cool - here's the proposal.

PROPOSAL Cancun domain - deadline WED 27 Aug 2003  Version-4

The Cancun support group including IMC Chiapas wish to have a temporary
use of the cancun domain name for the WTO meeting 10-14 Sept 2003.
They have an indymedia-software site
http://cancun.mediosindependientes.org/
but there is not yet any local, self-organised, autonomous indymedia
group there. It is proposed that:

(1) The domain name and directory name

cancun2003.indymedia.org 
and
www.indymedia.org/cancun/

be given for use by the
support group 

(2) cancun will *not* be added to the cities list

(3) The people organising the  http://cancun.mediosindependientes.org/
site will place a prominent (obvious) notice on the web site that:
(3a) there is not yet any local indymedia group in Cancun 
(3b) that locals are encouraged to get organised if they wish, with
a link to http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/NewImcHowTo or an [es]
version of the page

(4) the domain name 

cancun.indymedia.org

itself will point to a "splash page", which contains the information
(3a) + (3b) and points to http://cancun.mediosindependientes.org/
