[Imc-oceania] More detailed United IMC proposal

[Cameron Gregg]

Here is a more detailed proposal for a united Oceania effort.


--------
Proposal:

Convert oceania.indymedia.org into an open publishing website.

Form an editorial and tech collective to maintain the site. All people 
of current IMCs can of course be in these collectives.

Maintain and extend the ability to syndicate in feeds from other 
Indymedia websites and perhaps non-indymedia websites too.

This project does not aim to replace existing Indymedia collectives or 
websites, rather it serves as a starting point for new individuals and 
collectives and shared space for us all to combine our energies and 
present our work.

Maintain the imc-oceania list as a place for all oceania people to 
communicate and organise. Create an editorial list for this projects 
activity to take place on.

Utilise an editorial process to minimize disruption by trolls and 
trouble makers such as having trusted users which can promote good 
content to a wire for general consumption.

Facilitate translation of articles and website interface.

Create the following documents for the operation of the collective and 
website: Mission statement, editorial policy, conflict resolution.

Once organised, put ourselves through the global new-imc process.

--------


Consensus, participation and time limit.


All collectives in the Oceania network should consent or stand aside for 
the proposal to pass.

Participation by people from throughout Oceania is crucial for the 
project to be legitimate. People should indicate willingness to 
participate separately from their general support for the project.

An initial time limit for this proposal and consensus test is 4 weeks. 
Ending Wednesday 15th of August.
