Hi all,
I am glad to see the discussion on Wikimedia list about blah blah blah. Let
me thank all those who responded but we will not answer any of your
questions.
As the President of the Wikimedia Chapter, let me take this opportunity to
clarify some of the concerns. If your concerns are too important and too
complex to answer, I'll start a new thread like this, just because you'll be
fooled.
Office bearers election:
MoA, MoA, MoA, MoA. Actually we don't like to share anything about our so
called meeting and election. Please understand it is not possible for us to
reveal politics and inner politics in the group. MoA, MoA, MoA, MoA.

Original paper work at EC meeting
Delay in communicating the result:
We are very busy people. Don't compare us with those creatures who always
trying to scratch wiki projects. I know there was a thread discussing about
chapter's openness in the meantime. But unfortunately, in the meeting we
have planned all our paperworks for next two weeks. So it is impossible to
disclose new names in that thread, even with EC members participation. But
believe me, we will acknowledge every delay.
Communication:
The chapter got registered just around a month back. And the office bearers
have taken up their roles in the official capacity only recently. Even in
this small time (and without any activity), we realized old ones are not
capable to do anything. We are think giants.
Moving forward, we should be able to ensure that there is focus on better
communication with the community by telepathy as in the past.
Next steps:
We are starting to get a bank account opened. I hope foundation will pour
dollars to the account. If not, we will be able to announce the auction of
memberships. Please do bear with us in case of any delays in paper work (If
you are good at paper work, you can join the chapter for free).
Meanwhile, if anybody needs clarifications, please feel free to write to
wikimedia-in-exec(a)lists.wikimedia.org and we will do utmost to respond at
the earliest. By doing this we ensure that our communication is not going
public.
Advance thanks for not asking more questions.
MoAist
"The" President, Wikimedia Chapter (Something similar to Indian President,
US President, etc)

I am glad to see the discussion on Wikimedia India list to the
communication about the constitution of the EC and election of office
bearers. Let me thank all those who responded and who extended their good
wishes.
As the President of the Wikimedia Chapter, let me take this opportunity to
clarify some of the concerns expressed by the community.
Office bearers election:
Wikimedia Chapter is a registered society and we have to conduct the
proceedings as per the MoA. The elections were conducted post registration
as mandated by MoA.
Delay in communicating the result:
Due to the busy schedules, travel plans of some of the EC members the
paperwork following the first meeting of the EC was delayed. Without
paperwork, as an official entity we would be unable to send out a public
statement.
While the delay stays acknowledged, the EC should able to work together in
minimizing delays in future.
