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

Mon Jan 12 09:33:12 PST 2004

I too feel there are concerns over the topic IMC application.  Perhaps
a solution would be to use dnc.boston.indymedia.org?  That would be an
internal Boston decision & not a new-imc decision.

On another note, the 3 day dealine is after all your new IMC documents
have been posted to the list after working them through with your
sponsor, not 3 days from the publication of the online form.

I will not be on email again for a few days, but I trust the working
group can come to reasonable decisions why they are blocking the url.
