Dear Juan I find the proposal interesting and viable, given the fact that more than one university in Australia is working on community media, the work by the Australian academics covers three continents (Australia, Asia and South America), and it is a new conference location for OM which can particularly attract academics from countries closer to the region in the Asia-Pacific.
