[New-imc] Online form: Proposed new IMC! (IMC Vlaanderen)

[Pseudo Punk]

Hey Manu,

[ English Below ]

- Kunnen jullie mij het adres van een mailinglijst met publiek archief bezorgen ? Dan kunnen we de discussies en communicatie daar houden/voeren.
- Is het mogelijk om op de opmerkingen van vrijdag te reageren met betrekking tot de regio waaring jullie willen werken. ? En hoe jullie denken dat een imc vlaanderen past binnen het steeds meer lokaliseren van imc's in België (Wvl en luik).
- Ik begin zowiezo niet met de new-imc procedure zolang jullie werken via gesloten lijsten met vraag van geheimhouding.


[EN]

- Can you guys give me the address of a mailinglist with public archive ? Then we can do communications and discussions there.
- Is it possible to react on the remarks I - and others - had friday concerning the territory you people choose ? And how you think a imc-vlaanderen fits in the localisation imc's in belgium are going towards (Wvl and Liege).
- I won't start the new-imc procedure as longs as you guys are working on a closed mailinglist were subscribers need to promise to keep it secret.


Groetje / Greetings,


B.

We want to organise the imc as a non-hierarchical public space to nurture all the talents and skills present within the Belgian Dutch speaking social movements and organisations.

We have been experimenting with two testsites built with the DadaImc and SF-Active software respectively in order to compare their advantages and their drawbacks (the lack of a GPL licence for DadaIMC concerns us). Concerning the hosting of the site-to-be, various options are possible. A couple of known non-commercial servers offer enough bandwidth at a reasonable price, we would like to join one of the bandwidth sharing coops. In as far as we can afford it we would like to help another imc with bandwidth or serverspace (especially imc’s from the south).

We are sending an invitation to a broad a range of people and organisations, asking them to participate in a General Meeting within two weeks. We made a special effort to reach various direct action groups, NGO\'s, and alternative media makers in Flanders (dutch-speaking Belgium). Also left individuals and political parties of various ideologies but without representation in parliament are receiving the invitation. In this way we want to reach the whole dutch-speaking anti-globalization movement in Belgium. The General Meeting will show how successfull we have been in our efforts to bring together a diverse and motivated group of people. At the General Meeting, the Indymedia philosophy will be presented in great detail. Again we will discuss the need and feasibility of setting op a new IMC, considering the existing IMC\'s in Belgium and the other!

Then core decisions should be made on the new IMC and preparatory groups should be democratically mandated to work out different proposals on Process, Edito Policy, Tech, Outreach, etc. We expect that the process we are going through with the NewIMC Global working group can be carried on successfully after this General Meeting.

> IMC-Vlaanderen wants to be a part of the Indymedia Network for a lot of reasons. Vlaanderen is a distinct linguistic community in the federal state of Belgium, with its own developed political culture. We hope to build good relations with our comrades from the French-speaking part of Belgium, and set up translation teams to get news and information across cultural borders more easily and effectively. IMC-Vlaanderen would clearly bring a uni-lingual IMC closer to the people living in Vlaanderen. Indymedia Vlaanderen also aims to represent the diversity of the Belgian Dutch-speaking antiglobalization movement and is radically committed to the grass roots principle. By doing this, we hope to avoid the problems Indymedia Belgium is suffering from. We want to actively promote pluralism and decentralized democratic decision making within this local chapter of the IMC Network, thereby also attracting more volunteers from different movements. Special attention will be devoted to pre!

The new IMC should be a leftist public space from where grassroots activists can post their news without having to fear censorship from an all too centralistically conceived Editorial Policy. As networking is very important to us, be it on our local scale or on an international level, we would like to participate in exchanging experiences with other IMCs. Collaboration in technical and other teams on the global level, will be part of our being of a collective.
