The only reason I requested this was so that there is a distinction and one arm does not
claim credit for what the other is doing. If we have a separate chapter and India Programs
(IP), there must be separate accountability. In practice, Chapter and IP may be working
together, which is fantastic, but the report should then give details on who did what for
there to be transparency.
Today we have both the Chapter and IP. Tomorrow, things may change. The foundation has not
said that IP is here to stay, if tomorrow we dont have support from IP, the
community/chapter should be prepared for that eventuality. Eg. if it is IP doing all the
donkey work, we will understand where the chapter needs to ramp itself up. On the other
hand, if the chapter/community is managing most of the outreach by itself and IP is
concentrating on other things, that too must be underlined.
Hisham: IP has taken initiatives that need to be commended as well. For eg. Virtual
Outreach via Google Hangout is Nitikas initiative.

hi,
I don't think all events will fall so neatly into categories. I do not
want to see a situation where Chapter and Foundation wrestle for any
event.

Im a bit confused. IIRC, for the Trichy event, the Chapter signed an MoU,
which means it was a chapter outreach session which India Programs may have
supported (correct me if I am wrong).
Hisham, can you please divide outreach activities into two - those conducted
by India Programs and those conducted by Community/Chapter but supported by
India Programs, giving details on how you supported them? Likewise, if the
chapter supports an India Programs initiative, it must mention in its report
that it was a supportive role and not a chapter event.
As things stand, both the Chapter and India Programs will put in a report
stating they conducted x events, which will overlap with one and other, thus
not giving a clear picture of who conducted how many events.
