Hello,

Looking at issues objectively, the chapter has always been working with and for the community. All the members come from the community. In layman terms I think the only privilege of the membership holders is to elect and be elected and a few other responsibilities that can be realised only within a formal structure.

Please cite the rule. Otherwise explain why the "COMMUNITY" was
invited to pose queries to candidates till 15.Nov.2014. It has always
been clearly understood that "community" refers to "Wikipedia users
community" and Wikimedia "India" is known as "Chapter".

Is it your case that candidates for WMIN should not reply to queries
from the community ?

While the graduate constituency MLC elections are open for only graduates it does not mean that others cannot raise questions to the candidates. It is just that only graduates can vote and be elected. I think the same thought process applies here. It would be good to remove the artificial restriction else the chapter may be reduced to only the numbers who are members.
