[New-imc] Sketch of the proposal to IMC Valparaiso

[Rosa de la Boca]

As suggested by Ana, I have translated the sketch of the proposal to Spanish
and sent
it to IMC Valparaiso, so they can discuss and modify it. I have also told
them to
send us a counterproposal if they find the original one too harsh or even if
they don´t
agree with it at all. They are discussing the issue now and soon will send a
reply.

The only way to solve this problem is to negotiate a solution that everybody
agrees with. My fear is that if this process lasts too long the IMC
Valparaiso group will get frustrated and disperse, but hopefully we will
reach consensus in the next days.

Thank you for your feedback

Saludos,

Rosa

Hello All,

Rosa, great proposal.
I agree with Ana's addition.
Basically i also agree the proposal should be discussed by the proposed
imc at hand, and it should had come from them but they seemded rather
"unwilling to comply" or accept what the network had agreed upon as one
of the elements in the newimc process. So i think in this one case Rosa
did a good thing, its a constructive proposal and sometimes (especially
in this case) sponsors are sort of "forced" to play the role of a
"mediator" rather than a facilitator and for this once i think its great
that Rosa plays the role of a diplomat.

I think there should be room for discusssing the exact precise
formulation and other details, but if imc Valparaiso should block Rosa's
proposal we could see it as a refusal to accept one of the conditions to
become an imc.
Rosa, got anything up your sleave in case they block? Or does this block
imply they refuse to become an imc?

Greetings,

Libby
