Hi Shyam:
1 - To be a part of the mission and for contributing,
I don't think one
should be a member of the Wikimedia India (please don't take it otherwise).
Just for voting the executive committee members, one should be a member? I
don't understand the point.
Well, it gives members a say in the representation of the organisation
and in its agenda. This guides the Wikimedia mission in India.
2. I am under the impression that one of the major
goals of Wikimedia
chapter is fundraising, which will be used for its operations and fulfilling
the mission tasks. Isn't that correct?
I would, personally, disagree with this. The main role and aims are to
spread free knowledge as the registration documents show:
