21 | | LaNeta's concerns were presented by Enrique. The main concern is how can |
22 | | the people in Mexico get support, the day-to-day work. Also, there is a |
23 | | more long-term expectation about a democratic space that could be |
24 | | developed so all of the members can exchange their points of view. |
25 | | Regional meetings of membership groups could take place before the MF/PL |
26 | | membership meeting as a way to focus on the main ideas from the Mexican |
27 | | members to try to express them more effectively in a general assembly. |
28 | | Alfredo pointed out one big challenge that the diversification and |
29 | | internationalization of MF/PL makes MF/PL members knowing one another |
30 | | intimately much more difficult. The internationalization team has to |
31 | | recognize not only the job immediately before us of daily commnication, |
32 | | but the entire vision of bringing us all together. |

34 | | * General challenges and bigger pictures |
35 | | Building trust to buy into the idea to continue cooperation based in |
36 | | history and building. Both sides have to believe that the other are very |
37 | | solid. The cultural things need to be brought forward more. Is there a |
38 | | way to do the actual transfer of the server and technology stuff low-key |
39 | | so that we can do the cultural brokering piece to give people an |
40 | | opportunity to work together. The majority of the membership is in |
41 | | Mexico City that could give us time to figure out how to bring people |
42 | | together, which might culminate in a meet-and-greet. |
47 | | It's important that everything be equal on both sides of the language |
48 | | issue. Integrating different source material into Spanish, or being |
49 | | up-front during the process of migrating the content into Spanish is a |
50 | | priority but a reasonable amount of time. When you enter the website |
51 | | that isn't actually fully translated, it can be frustrated. We have to |
52 | | have an explicity plan for that. |
