This is just a scratch/discussion page for improvements recommended for the http://newimc.indymedia.org page. You might as well make your preferred changes directly to this page - it's a TWiki page after all - but maybe send a comment to new-imc at lists.indymedia.org as well.

Ideas on what to remove from the page, or how to shorten it without removing any key elements, would also be good.

Which global lists

at the end of the section

"PROVISIONAL IMC NETWORK DOCUMENTS"

we should tell people our interpretation of h. and i. of the MembershipCriteria

h. Have a spokesperson(s) willing and capable of participating in the global decision-making process and meetings as a rotating liaison/representative, with a clear understanding of the responsibilities that come with this role,

i. Participate in the key IMC Network Communication Methods that pertain to the health and vitality of the Network and that contribute to the work of the IMC. Assure that at least one person from your local IMC participates at any given time on the IMC-Communications list,

suggested text:

• h. and i. The global communication methods (and possibly a decision-making process) are still very much unclear - your constructive participation could help make them clearer. It's a matter of practice to see how they evolve.
  • i. There should be one person from your local IMC on http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-communication as a liaison, who reports back and forth, and does a task of communication and summarising and maybe translating between the global list and the local IMC, but does not substitute his/her personal decisions for those of the local IMC ("imc-commmunications" is a spelling error; "imc-communication" is correct)
  • h. If you have one person on the http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-communication mailing list, then that person will be aware of global IRC meetings and can either participate him/herself, or contact the spokesperson(s) in h. if that person is different.
  • i. The standard recommendation for other key lists includes:
    • http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-process
    • http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-finance
    • http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-tech
  • your regional list, e.g.
    • http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-europe or
    • http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-east-mediterranean or
    • http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-india or

mission statements - new-imc archive renumbered

The http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc archive was renumbered recently. It seems that you should replace (00old-message-number).html by (00old message number - 001178).html to get the new message number.

Here are the mission statement references on http://newimc.indymedia.org with the corrected numbers.
