Could we have a quick update from this working group and the others? Contact
persons... Clemencia, elvira, gabi, jethro.

Working Groups
Since 2004 OURMedia/NUESTROS Medios had been organized through the 'steering
committee' list . However, it became clear that one group is not enough. At
the OURFuture Plenary in Sydney, a system of Working Groups was set up. The
working groups organized through listservs and document their work on wiki
pages (collectively edited webpages like this one). Any ourmedia member is
free to join, read archives and/or comment.
--> to join a working group, contact the facilitator
--> to check what the working groups have been doing, go to the archive and
wiki page of each list

Other issues that await addressing and/or working group formation:
outreach e.g. to specific geographies, to our own home constituencies
(raised at Sydney Plenary)
discussion on outreaching more, e.g. absence of aboriginal peoples (at
Plenary)
name confusion with ourmedia.org (longstanding unresolved issue)
annoted Bibliography of ourmedia related books and people (OURBibliography?
OURMediaPedia?) -- suggestion by lisa.stefanoff(AT)nyu.edu 4/2007
