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

[Jay]

Hi Scott,

This is Jay from the Philadelphia IMC.  I'm also involved with the new-imc 
working group and generally respond to aspiring IMCs from around the U.S. 
when they write to us.  Glad to meet you!

I'm really happy to see there's more forward motion toward having an IMC in 
Alaska.  I know there have been a couple people who have contacted 
Indymedia in the past about doing some Alaskan IMC organizing.  I also 
vaguely remember that Sheri (sheri at indymedia.org) from IMC-Seattle has had 
contact with some of them (perhaps with you, Scott?).  Sheri, is that correct?

Perhaps the best thing to do right now, before we set everyone forward on 
their separate organizing, is to make sure everyone who has communicated 
with the new-imc working group about forming an IMC in Alaska is in touch 
with each other.  Then everyone can proceed together to get something great 
done.

So, Sheri, do you know Scott?  If not, maybe we could exchange information 
between Scott and the people from Alaska who you met, if I remember that 
correctly, so they can communicate.

Jay
