[New-imc] Re: [IMC-Process] Online form: Proposed new IMC!

[robert at riseup.net]

Totally an understandable concern.  We had thought about that as well in
the Boston IMC, and were wondering in making dnc.indymedia.org that it
might make for easier archives and implementation for the next Convention
after 2004 than a dated URL.

Though Boston's not married to dnc.indymedia.  Perhaps, if others felt the
same way, dnc-imc.indymedia, closer to the label for the latest ftaa
convergence in Miami (ftaa-imc.indymedia)?

Just a thought,

Robert
