Hello Everyone:
I'm using Bala's email because I think he's done a great job of summarizing the various issues on this thread.
- Why was the election held without informing others of the agenda (the EC
answered that it was a required step to formalise the organisation per registration rules, )
This is correct - while the MoA (apologies, Pradeep) requires this to have been done post registration - maybe we were wrong in not communicating this earlier or in a more transparent manner but this ties in to point two below.
- Why was the delay in communication about the 22 Jan meeting (the EC
answered that as a formal org now, they cannot issue communiques without first having the paperwork in place)
Having been bitten more than once with the legal complexities around the registration of the Chapter, we wanted to play safe on this and dot all the i's and cross all the t's before making a public statement.
- Why were the leadership designations changed among theĀ EC members. (This
hasnt been answered as far as i know)
It isn't that the designations were changed, so to speak. Post registration, we had to elect office bearers and during this election, these posts changes. Hence.
- Why was Praveen's mail moderated ( clearly answered; because it got
caught in the spam filters due to an embedded HTML)
This would be my assumption too - good faith holds. That said, yes, I think it would be nice to have a wider representation of admins and that this is clearly the India list and not the India Chapter list.
Thank you.
Best,
