Just to clarify. When I say 'bottom up' approach - you have contacted 
Germany IMC already with your grievances, thats good, you've approached 
them directly.  Next step is contacting imc-europe, not to suggest 
disaffiliation, but simply to voice your grievances and to seek a 
resolution. If this is unhelpful, then you 'go global' by emailing the 
imc-communications list, again, not to propose disaffiliation, but to 
seek resolution.  Only after you've exhausted all avenues of possibility 
for resolution, should disaffiliation be considered, and then only if 
you think it will be successful. At that point I would reconsider my 
support.

I also must point out, everyone who has participated in this discussion 
so far in the Sydney IMC collective is NOT from Sydney (Diet, Stacy and 
myself). I am becoming increasingly concerned that Sydney IMC is not 
being controlled by people from Sydney. As such, a few of us have 
started an imc-aus list in the hope that we can start up an australia 
wide imc (not to replace sydney though). Everyone is welcome to join the 
list.
