Dear all,
The newly restructured EC has held a telecon tonight (September 10th). We have decided to meet in person at Bangalore on 20,21 & 22 September 2014 with a large number of tasks in hand.
Due to several reasons, principally among them, a delay in the completion of Financial Audit Reports, we are forced to postpone the AGM and Elections by a few weeks, following the recommendation of our legal and financial consultants.
The above board meeting, to be held in Bangalore, will corroborate and decide on the earliest possible date to conduct the AGM and General Elections considering all formal timeline constraints. We will also meet-up with the Election Committee, our legal and financial consultants and other concerned agencies.
We are also about to present a few drafts at the Chapters wiki and invite amendments, modifications and improvements in our constitutional and policy documents. This will include a 'Conflict of Interest' policy, a basic framework on the formation of an Advisory committee, simplification of membership application processes, grant process, publication of necessary Membership data without compromising the privacy concerns etc.
