What bothers me in all this:
since IMC-vl isn't part yet of the Indymedia network, it shouldn't use 
the name 'Indymedia' until then.

It wouldn't be honnest and it would raise confusion for users and 
audience.
=> so i wonder how the member of the 'pingpong' collectif will make 
outreach and work.

Using the URL 'www.indymedia-vlaanderen.org' seems to me like a way to 
bypass the decision of the international networks.
I really think IMC-vl collective should be patient and wait for 
approval or reject from the international networks and avoid to use the 
name 'indymedia' until then.
