Subject: [ear] proposal for partner activities
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 10:25:26 +0200


WHAT IS THIS

this is a proposal for the kinds of activities the [ear] partners can
perform/develop

INTRODUCTION

this is the preliminary list of activities. its purpose is to help those who
have expressed willingness to participate to choose the way they want to do
it and to make this clear for all other partners. please, feel free to
suggest changes to the list that will make the types of activities more
clear and comprehensive.

the offered structure has the purpose to provide maximum flexibility and
freedom for different kinds of informal or formal national and international
partnerships in the context of [ear].

as [ear] has been conceived as structured, but free source of information,
there will be no strict rules about the way the partnerships should be
formed.

however, for the purposes of fundraising on different levels, editorial work
on given language or special cases of research structure, a certain level of
formality will be required.

as information will be loaded from the partners themselves on daily, it will
be difficult to provide exact credits for every single input, but strict
credits will be given stating the concrete type and area of participation of
every partner.

PRELIMINARY LIST OF ACTIVITIES

there are three basic types of activities: national/regional register,
information center and non-institutional partner

1. national/regional register

this can be part of the activity of an art organisation, active in the field
of media art

this is a national/regional register that co-ordinates all the activities of
[ear] on the given territory (one or more countries) as promotion,
collection of information, co-ordination of the editorial of the database
information on the national language(s) of the country/territory, etc.

it is strongly recommended that the national register maintains its own web
space where to provide regional specific information in the national
language(s) of the country/territory. this activity depends on the concrete
infrastructure of the country.

the national register should have long term interests in the area and its
own resources or the ability to raise funds

2. information center

this can be part of the activity for each organisation in the field of the
media art.

the center can perform each of the activities of the national register,
without the need to perform all of them.

role of information center can play unlimited number of organisations on
given territory. the informational center does not need to declare long term
commitment, but should provide stable partnership for every period or
project in which the center has certain role.

the information center should have its own resources or the ability to raise
funds or at least participate of fundraising lead by [ear]

3 non-institutional partner

this is a professional in the area of the art who is not part of an
institution, or is part of an institution that is not and is not interested
in becoming an [ear] partner.

non-institutional partner can perform all activities related to one's
experience and professional abilities as consultancy, research, critics,
translation etc.

non-institutional partners can participate also as supporters of different
national/regional institutions or other non-institutional partners, and to
form more or less stable partnerships for accomplishing different projects
in the area of [ear].

the non-institutional partner is not required to have its own base and
resources and in the general case they s/he will be supported by the own
[ear] funds, or by the funds of the institutional partners s/he works for,
when available. however in the general case s/he should have access to basic
equipment and technology as computer, e-mail connection etc. as there will
be no support for such.

THE NEXT STEP

please, send your suggestions for changes in the list. if we receive many
suggestions, a new posting will be made.

organisation would participate in to:
