Words of wisdom, and my thanks to you Libby, for saying them.
Every single problem we face in IndyMedia, from global all 
the way down to local work- groups, is a continuous 
resistance by some (powerful) individuals, to develop a 
network- wide process of consensus which will enable us to 
function as a true direct- democracy organization.

Everything that happens or fails to happen in the crucial 
areas of our network, imc-process, finance, communication 
and tech (the most powerful of) work- groups, is determined 
by this dedication *against* a democratic process.

We need conscious and concrete steps to build democratic 
procedures among us. Accountability, is the most crucial and 
missing element.
