Feb 5 2009. 전체모임 General Meeting

Today we will fill out the application, write the mission statement and apply to become part of the network. Also, we will try to decide who will be liaisons for the global Tech, NewIMC, Process and Communication.

Editorial Policy 편집정책:

-Copyright: what if we translate a copyrighted story and post it on IMC features? Should we do this or avoid it?

-Two things to add on to the Editorial Guidelines: 1) copy and pasting other stories from another website and posting on IMC should be avoided, but not restricted; 2) allow translating and posting content from other websites.

-Decided to make the Editorial Policy less strict and detailed since we can make modifications in the future if we face problems.

Liaisons:

-Tech: Beom will be the Korea IMC liaison for the global Tech list.

-NewIMC: Mi Won will be the Korea IMC liaison for the global NewIMC list.

-Process: Giraffe will be the Korea IMC liaison for the global Process list.

-Communication: Jeff will be the Korea IMC liaison for the global Communication list.

introductory_statement:

We are working to bridge the gap between Korean social movements and the world. In addition, we are working to provide Korea with a functional model of a non-hierarchical open publishing independent media collective.

resources:

We have many experienced activists from diversity of organizations, many with independent media and technical backgrounds. We have our own server.

outreach:

We have contacted many organizations via e-mail, telephone, and in person explaining our objective and ways they can be involved. We have also created fliers and distributed them at demonstrations explaining the lack of international media coverage of the grassroots activists' perspective. We also have a bilingual working group blog that is networked within a Korean progressive portal website.

identity_makeup:

Our collective consists of people representing over six nationalities: Korean, Nepali, USA, Bangladesh, Japanese, Austrian, and who speak even more languages. About over half of the core members are Korean. Full-time activists, filmmakers, artists, computer programmers/designers, students, teachers, white and blue collar workers.

steps_represent_diversity:

One step that we must take is to ensure that language does not become an impediment for participation. Raise awareness of privilege or marginalisation based on nationality, gender, race, personality, or abilities. Discuss these and work towards creating a process for evaluating and confronting any inequalities that exist.

steps_involve_new_workfields:

We have conducted Language exchange workshops in the past. We will work to continue to do so, as well as holding tech and art workshops. We will also share resources, including computer and video equipment.
