Thanks for raising out the concern. Yes, the Wikimedia
India's prime
objective is to seek individuals with individual expertise. Wikimedia India
is a growing organisation, hence, the individuals at the advisory council
could provide the precise guidance on how to step under bigger institutional
framework.
That was not the concern raised. The (proposed?) composition of the
advisory board seems to be skewed in favor of individuals who have
been somewhat intimately associated with the Chapter. This in turn is
orthogonal to the stated approach of having a diverse set of
specialized inputs.
[The snippet from the original post is kept intact below to highlight
the specific concern raised]

However, They are not a "committee" in the usual sense to discuss all
issues
together and provide consensus.
From the document:
"The advisory board would not have any fixed size , but it is prefered
that it consist of 4-8 members.One member
would be an individual having an international experience in working
with the Wikimedia organisation. The next
group of these members would be individuals who were the founding
members of the Chapter. The last group of
members would be individuals having experience across four different
fields such as legal, information
technology, government regulation, administrative experience, etc."
The (proposed?) composition seems peculiarly skewed towards
individuals with institutional memory.
