    911
    1012LaNeta requested support on September 8th to May First/People Link to ensure the provision of the services to its community, facing the imminent shutdown of its ISP activity. The reasons where both financial difficulties and insufficient technical staff. Enrique had resigned as Operations Coordinator on August 25th and agreed to transfer his responsibilities during September.
     
    1214LaNeta members can be described as organizations+individuals using some kind of resource under laneta.org and laneta.apc.org domains, organizations+individuals hosting their own domains on a shared server and organizations who have their own server administrated by LaNeta.

    2022Starting in November Enrique will get in touch with all former LaNeta users who have domain names under LaNeta's registration, so they get full control of them.
     
    3032There 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.

    4648Phase 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.
     
    5052Full 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.

    5456Enrique will manage a Mexican bank account to collect dues payments.  Enrique will transfer a single lump sum from the bank account to MFPL's bank account once a month. Enrique will provide Hilary with bank statements so Hilary can track membership dues payments. 
     
    5860In 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.

    6668Currently, 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 MFPL member Roberto Tijerina (the organizer who organized language interpretation for the U.S. Social Forum) in order to start that process.

    7577MFPL's strategy and political direction has, up to now, been largely determined by the political situation in the United States. We will need to adjust our strategies and outlooks to bring in the political realities facing Mexico and to incorporate these new members in our activities and thinking.
