I have made a copy of the framework for editing by
all. Let the original
remain untouched at the moment for easy reference.
Some cleanup required. Will do later if nobody does it as short of time now.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hi Pradeep:
Thanks much for the feedback - a request - could we edit the Wiki
please - it might be easier for everyone to keep track of it?
On the issue of the AGM, it is something that we are seeking clarification
on.
Thank you.
Best,
Gautam

hi,
We think a few specific points with relation to the framework need to be
brought out -
1. The Chapter Executive Committee should not take the sole
responsibility
for selecting a bid. While the Chapter Executive Committee is an
examplary
body, a group consisting of members from the Executive Committee, the
community and Foundation could be ideal to select a specific city in
case of
bids placed by cities.
2. The Organizing Committee (OC) suggested could turn out to be very
big.
Specifics on the number or limitation on number of people in the OC
would be
a great clarification. Managing an event is a big deal. The head of the
Organizing Committee must be able to concentrate on the event and not
worry
about managing his Organizing Committee too much. As Tinu said - as
minimal
as possible to reduce bureaucracy and facilitate decision making to make
the
event a success.
3. It would be great to clarify on the venue for the AGM, whether it
needs
to be held in Bangalore/Karnataka (since chapter is registered in
Karnataka)
or can be held anywhere in India. If the AGM can be held only in
Bangalore/Karnataka, it would be great to strike out objective no. 3:
"Preferably held together with Annual General body Meeting (AGM) of
Wikimedia Chapter, as it will help broader participation from across
India
in AGM and make for a vibrant and active membership base." altogether. I
understand the use of word "preferably". But, if the Chapter can clarify
on
requirements of AGM venue, it would be great.
4. The point about the Head of the Organizing Committee should also be
discussed. I think that it would be better for the Organizing Committee
to
select/elect the Head once the OC is constituted. To say that the head
of
the OC *should* be from the Chapter is rather wrong.
warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas
