Dear Ashwin Sir,
I find you are a very old member at Wikimedia India and there are also communication logs
where you have been conversing on the Mailing List.
However, I do not find your Mail ID in the subscriber's list. Generally with
membership renewal an invitation mail to join Member's Mailing is followed.
I am reaching out to you on a personal thread to sort this out.

Thanks for answering my query.
Another query. Would newly added members have to apply for the Chapter mailing list or do
they get added automatically?

co-opted EC. If I wish to attend the event, I would apply like an ordinary community
member and be subject to the decision of the jury on the scholarship award.

would be taken or any overdraft cheque created so that when WMIN gets funding, my claims
can be cleared.

volunteers?
