INN launched in 2009 with 24 member groups.
• Resolution of the ongoing legal war over the status of Summer Reese, the ousted former executive director of the Pacifica Foundation, will have to wait until May 6. Reese has continued to work as executive director despite being let go in March and, along with supporters, has barricaded herself inside Pacifica’s headquarters in Berkeley, Calif. She filed suit in Alameda County, Calif., Superior Court to get her job back, and a majority of Pacifica’s board of directors countersued to have the court remove Reese. At a hearing Monday, the judge declined to rule on the measure and instead will hear both requests May 6.

A first step will be to create an advisory group, she said.
