Dear Ashwin Sir,
* Six-years back on April 13th, 2013 a resolution by the then General Assembly had approved for a resolution, "Adding co-opted trustees". Subsequently, several EC members have been co-opted. from time-to-time [1]
* The Elections are due and the reason for the same have been communicated on WMIN Members Mailing List on 15th May. It is only for that reason I have accepted EC's decision to be co-opted. I would also like to make a public declaration, I will not take privilege of any perks or benefits while serving the office of WMIN as a co-opted EC.
* For further updates, and for Community Members not on WMIN Members Mailing List, requesting to wait for sometime. A mail has been sent addressing to the WMF Staff who has posted a message here. It consist of all information. [2]
[1] http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Memorandum_of_Association* I find there is some problem with the document here and would fix it. *
[2] I had unsubscribed from this mailing list for the last two months due to hectic personal life. Hence, Mailing List admins have to approve my mail.

Shouldn't there be an election? Is co-opting permitted as per bye laws?

That's good to know, and thanks for the update. Best wishes to Abhinav!
Is there any update on the state of the chapter, vis-a-vis its compliance difficulties? Or its activities? It would be good to keep the wider communities informed.
Cheers,
A.
