[EN] Hello to you all,
Since the announcement of ipernity upcoming shutdown, many of you have expressed their support and their willingness to help.
An initiative stands out among the proposals we have received, the taking over of ipernity by a non-profit organization open to all users, the "Ipernity Members Association".
This association (whose creation is planned) invites us today to inform you about a survey the aim of which is to know how many people want to support this initiative and want to have a voice in deciding the future of ipernity.
Here is the survey in question (Google Tool), thank you to respond by February 1:

Here is the website that will tell you more about the ambition of this association:
ipernityma.wixsite.com/ipernityma (English)
ipernityma.wixsite.com/ipernityma/francais (in French)
ipernityma.wixsite.com/ipernityma/deutsch (in German)
This initiative is currently supported by the following:
Eric Desjours (Eric Desjours), Sara Shrives (Stoneroad2013), Don Sutherland (Don Sutherland), William Sutherland (William Sutherland)
The project of Ipernity’s resumption supported by this association seems to be today the most realistic proposal we have received, and we will, of course, provide all our support.
Thank you in advance for your participation in the survey :)
See you soon,
The ipernity Team

Latest Update
William Sutherland
09/03/2017: IMA and Ipernity S.A. are close to an agreement. I'm hopeful it will be attained sometime tomorrow. If so, the terms will be published here. Please know that the agreement if finalized is aimed at meeting the best interests of the Ipernity platform, IMA and the platform's members' interests.
In anticipation, IMA will be establishing a bank account in France and opening a Paypal account to facilitate revenue receipts and payment of operating expenses. IMA also anticipates the start of a CrowdFunding campaign early next week and once it is underway, daily updates will be given. Please know, it is critical people contribute as soon as possible without delay when CrowdFunding is underway since a decision will have to be made within about 2 weeks whether to continue to the platform into April. The combined March and April costs are approximately 10,000 € (Amazon in agreement with Ipernity S.A. allowed the platform to operate this month with expectation that the payments will be made in April).
In addition, please be aware that annual operating expenses for the Ipernity platform are approximately 66,000 €. This does not provide any funds for contingency reserves, future obligations, platform upgrades (for example, future conversion to https protocol as some have suggested), rate increases or other unanticipated expenses or shortfalls. Nevertheless, a stable club membership base near the reported membership figure is more than sufficient to maintain viability and offer a bright long-term future.
IMA thanks everyone for their patience, input, ideas and efforts to keep this site running and for your assistance to ensure a successful CrowdFunding campaign.

11/03/2017: Ipernity Members Association is now official. The official declaration of IMA was published this morning in Journal Officiel!
3 hours ago. Edited 3 hours ago.

13/03/2017: The CrowdFunding campaign as officially begun. Even though the goal is listed at $25,000, we need approximately $30,000. If people honor their survey commitments, we should realize this.
We have approximately 2 weeks to achieve this goal. Even though it is a short time frame, it is achievable if everyone acts with urgency. I just made my own contribution and doubled what I had said I would offer in the survey so that the crowdfunding campaign begins with a good start.
The hyperlink for making donations is:
www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/ipernity-members-association-a-non-profit-entity/x/16237256
Please note, Indiegogo decides the method of payment.
These next two weeks will be the most critical and decisive. Starting tomorrow, IMA will provide daily updates as to the progress of the crowdfunding campaign.
Thank you for your support for this worthy cause to keep this unique and great site alive.
Looking Good Folks ...
Please remember that this has nothing to do with monies already paid to Ipernity SA for subscriptions. This is to keep the site alive for a few more months until the takeover by the community can be finalised.
We have less than 2 weeks to reach our target or, according to what I've been told, the site will most certainly close. So if you want ipernity to still be here next month please support the crowdfunding campaign.
