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

[Jay]

Hi CincyIMC,

This is Jay from the Philadelphia IMC.  I'm also involved in the new-imc 
working group, and sometimes work with aspiring IMCs from the U.S. to help 
them get through the new-imc process.  I'm so glad to see a Cincinnati IMC 
is ready to form!  I'm sure you have had the chance to check out the 
new-imc documents at 
"http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/NewImcSummary".  If not, certainly 
do.  They'll give you a good idea of how to proceed.

When you've gone through those documents and are ready to take the next 
step toward becoming part of the Indymedia network, drop the new-imc 
working group a line again.  We'll find someone to work with you and help 
you through the process.  Probably the best person/people to help will be 
someone or several someones from the IMCs in the midwest.  [note to any 
midwestern imc folks getting this message through the new-imc list -- maybe 
you'll want to be in touch with the forming CincyIMC soon, just to open 
lines of communication.]

As the new-imc documents say, organize organize organize!  Let us know if 
you have any questions, and good luck!

Jay
