Es/en
Creo que es hora de enviar la solicitud del CMI Valparaíso para IMC
process.
Su proceso de aprobación estuvo parado en new-imc por algunas semanas
debido
a la controversia sobre sus respuestas a las nuevas cuestiones en el
formulario de solicitud. Algunos voluntarios no estaban de acuerdo con
las
respuestas, pero no hubo un bloque formal. Así no hay razón para
mantener su
proceso de aprobación en ese impasse, pues no hubo ningún bloque. De
cualquier modo, ellos tendrán que ser aprobados en IMC-process.
Nuevo plazo en imc-process e imc-communication: el martes, 15 de junio,
a
las nueve de la noche, horario GMT.
Algunos enlaces para la controversia mencionada arriba:

Mas abajo están todos los documentos traducidos.
Respeto a la situación de otras solicitudes latinoamericanas: Santiago
del
Estero ha enviado un formulario de solicitud
(http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2004-April/005027.html;
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2004-April/005051.html), <http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2004-April/005051.html%29,>
pero
hasta ahora ningun voluntario latino en new-imc se ofreció para
ayudarlos.
Yo ya he dicho que iba a retirarme de indymedia, solo estoy cuidando de
la
solicitud del CMI Valparaíso, así pido a otro voluntario latino que se
encargue de Santiago del Estero.

I think it's time to send the IMC Valparaiso application to IMC process.
Their application has stopped in new-imc for some weeks due to the
controversy over their answers to the recently introduced questions.
Some
volunteers didn't agree with their answers at all, but no formal block
was
presented. So there's no reason to keep their approval process in this
stalemate since there was no block. Anyway, they still have to pass
through
the imc-process deadline.
Imc-process and imc-communication deadline: Tuesday, 15 June 2004, GMT
21:00.
Some links to the controversy mentioned above:

All their documents can be read below.
Regarding the situation of other Latin American applications, Santiago
del
Estero has sent an application form some time ago
(http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2004-April/005027.html;
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2004-April/005051.html), <http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/new-imc/2004-April/005051.html%29,>
but no
Latin new-imc volunteer has offered to help them. I had already said
that
I'm quitting Indymedia and I'm only dealing with the Valparaiso
application,
so I ask other Latin volunteer to help Santiago del Estero.
