Dear All,

The Centre for Internet & Society (CIS) is celebrating 5 years of its existence with an exhibition showcasing its activities and accomplishments. The exhibition will be held at its offices in Bangalore and Delhi from May 20 to 23, 2013. The Access to Knowledge (A2K) programme work will also be showcased.

As a move to promote transparency, CIS is inviting the general public to be its auditors by throwing open its account books and contracts which show how it has spent the Rs. 13.3 crore that was received from its donors over the last 5 years. I am writing precisely to invite you to see the accounts books and contracts pertaining to the A2K grant given by the Wikimedia Foundation [1]. 

The four-day event will see renowned artists like Kiran Subbaiah, Tara Kelton, Navin Thomas and Abhishek Hazra featuring their work and also giving live demonstrations. For more details see the invitation [2]. Look forward to receiving you at CIS [3].

Apologies for cross-posting.

Warmly,
Vishnu
