ER ok, we got the editorial policy (no one blocked/opposed), We'll double
check the criteria with the crew & chuck it up on our Wiki & stuff (which
reminds me, I gotta put last weeeks minutes up, tho the meeting was
superinformal & all.

Ah ok... Kinda thought the application originally was the 3 day bit & the
docs & paperworkie bits was what the 7 day stuff was about.. I'll check it
thru...... (/me makes amusing comments about anarchists and damn process
:)

Ah it's partly psychological... Quite a few folk say "are you official
yet?" and we sorta all go, "well no, but go to the site and use it!" and
they go "cool, when it's official" and I fall on me head and cry "catch
22!!!!" (or sumfin.), nah it's just psychological. It'd be nice for the
'realness' to be there. (Plus ppl seem not to remember
wwww.perthimc.asn.au as well as perth.indymedia.org!!!!)

We got process process process! A whole buncha crew are pretty much ready
to bomb the actions with dictaphones, cameras and "Hey, wanna write us a
story?" type pamphlet if (I hope if and not when!) that horrid war
happens. I'm thinking the F15 action this weekend should give a good test
run on how well we function.

Yah.. I'm picturing madness in pretty much every city on the planet if it
happens, so I'm sure perth will not be the only "wow! what a big rally"
sorta story.

Well yeah. Consensus seems to be there, so it's a case of just putting it
together. I'll fwd the ed policy tomorrow, it's been on list long enuff
for any objections to arise and there seems none so far.
