Dear Ravi,
Thanks for the response . We wrote to EC and jayanta responded .
all communication with EC is documented here
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Talk:Elections2014#Communications_with_EC_and_Mail…
Quoting from our last response
Technical incapability to handle spam is not a valid reason for preventing
user account creation and it is affecting election process. So from Elecom
we strongly demand to enable account creation again
If you want to block membership creation on chapter wiki do it after the
public discussion period . ie after Nov 15th as per current Q&A Shedule
Nobody in usual use cases are going to write to an email for creating an
account . Those will stay away from participating in process . I hope EC
will reconsider and lift the ban soon.
~ regards
Anivar Aravind

Anivar,
I merely informed about the situation.
This is a technical decision taken by the chapter member who is
volunteering for spam control. Both EC and I saw the merit in this decision
as spam was going out of control.
Please note that only direct on wiki registration by the user has been
disabled.
A new user account can still be created if anyone drops a mail to
membership(a)wikimedia.in
So far, we haven't received any request to create a new user account.
Any such request will be immediately taken care of.
Chapter wiki new user account creation is open to public and not limited
to chapter members alone.
Thanks,
Ravi
