Thanks Gautam ,<div>Would it be a good idea to record the Agenda & MoM of the EC meetings ( & hopefully previous ones, if there are ) ? That may possibly help the community to be in sync with what the chapter is thinking & planning.. and important decisions that are taken. Thoughts ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Not sure, whether there is a possibility of an annual meeting within this financial year as articulated by MoA. </div><div><br></div><div>One person raised a question to me privately, I thought it might be good to ask here, that whether the current term of office bearers like President etc and EC members starts from the date of approval of the chapter or registration date of the chapter in India ? </div>
<div><br></div><div>Last year 2010, Arunram & Hari Nadig represented India at the Chapter committees in Berlin , as chapter to be. It will be a proud moment as we are representing us as an official chapter for the first time, this year. Was wondering if the community has some expectations on this. Thoughts?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Congrats and best wishes to Anirudh who is representing India at Frankfurt, Germany on the movement roles Project <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project</a> </div>
<div><br></div><div>As we wait for the announcements of Wikimedia Foundation office in India & National Program Director, I believe 2011 will be a great year for the Wikimedia India movement. </div><div><br></div><div>
