Hari,
As the situation has worsened to the levels that EC is now been accused of
being here for swindling money ("auctioning off membership") and selective
moderation in the mailing list (unfairly in both counts IMO), please be
blunt and do clear the air without niceties. The basic questions raised
about EC are the following:
1) 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, )
2) 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)
3) Why were the leadership designations changed among the EC members. (This
hasnt been answered as far as i know)
4) Why was Praveen's mail moderated ( clearly answered; because it got
caught in the spam filters due to an embedded HTML)
I am pretty much satisfied with 1, 2 and 4. But 3 hasnt been answered and
people are now accusing you of being a "sekret cabal". I am a new member to
the list and as someone uninvolved, my humble suggestions to clear the air
are:
1) Answer no 3 and any other questions people have been asking
2) Bluntly define the chapter's role - not the MoA/constitution etc (people
are under the impression that the chapter can get involved in deletion
discussions in commons)
3) Get some non EC moderators to the mailing list immediately to avoid any
appearance of conflict of interest.
regards
Bala
