IMC Network Proposals from Discussions at Press Freedom Conference (San Francisco, April 27-29, 2001)

[Note: the original of this document is located at

On April 27-29, many people from IMCs around the US and the world gathered

in San Francisco to discuss the future of the IMC network and to attempt

to frame proposals for the network as a whole to guide its future

decisionmaking in areas of common concern. This was necessitated by the

urgent need to address a variety of issues that had been until that time

deferred, such as how to facilitate the addition of new IMCs to the network.

These are urls for the texts of various proposals, with revisions made based

on input from people at the San Francisco conference, as

submitted to various lists whose archives are located at lists.indymedia.org.

Unfortunately, there is no one place that has a comprehensive listing of

these proposals. And this is especially problematic, as we want to get

feedback from everyone who might take an interest in guiding the future

development of the IMC network. Accordingly, as an effort to rectify this

situation, I'm taking the liberty of gathering some of these revised

proposals here. Please send mail to imc@libertad.ucsd.edu if I've missed

any documents that should be listed here.
