    26 There is a special case of dual membership: laneta members, both organizations + individuals, who are using email accounts with the laneta.apc.org domain, are quite important from the political perspective and Laneta agreed that May First/People Link will administer email accounts using this domain.

    42 Phase 1: Enrique will continue providing spanish language support to former Laneta members in the manner that support has been provided up to now. Enrique will use the #mayfirst IRC channel and the ticket tracking system to request help from other MFPL support team members.

    44 Phase 2: Once the ticket tracking system has reached an acceptable level of internationalization, all members who prefer spanish will be asked to request support like all MFPL members by submitting tickets. Ross, as support queue butler, will assign tickets based on matching the linguistic and technical capacity of the support team member with the issue being raised.

    46 Full integration of Spanish language in MFPL processes will be an on-going process. We expect spanish language support for the ticket system and the control panel to take most of 2012 to complete. We are fully committed politically to being a bi-lingual organization, however, it will take time before we have reached that goal and we will depend on the patience and understanding of our spanish-only members as we make this transition.

    5252Enrique will be paid $800 per month for November and December to assist with the move (this is based on $20/hour - same rate that Hilary and Ross make - and covers the equivalent of 5 full days of labor per month). In addition, Enrique will have access to up to $200 for printed materials and other miscellaneous expenses to assist him in his work for MFPL.

    54 In early January we will evaluate an appropriate rate moving forward based on number of spanish language members who have joined, estimated support work-load, and estimate additional income from former Laneta members.

    62 Currently, all MFPL communication happens in English. It will take a lot of time before we have developed systems to properly adjust to a bi-lingual organization. We have organized an initial team and have scheduled a phone call with MF/PL member Roberto Tijerina (the organizer who organized language interpretation for the U.S. Social Forum) in order to start that process.
