*could you please let us know which NGOs in Bangalore,
registered as Societies in the last couple of years, have membership for those below 18 and for foreign nationals, please? It will be very useful for WMIN when they decide to make their case to the Registrar? Having been part of the team that registered the Society, I can clarify that these restrictions were not WMIN's but the Registrar of Society's.
Bangalore - One example could be Art of Living. And am clueless about Karnataka Society Law's. In Pune Osho provides membership access to foreign nationals, it might be registered differently (other than society.)
*As for your latter point on "'Is it adult censored organization?' -
one could ask whether voting in this country is an 'Is it adult censored organization*?'
That was comment from someone who had query., Other than voting, minors do have access to health, education and other facilities. Govt provides service/'citizenship' to citizens irrespective of age.. Like I suggested [possible solution] in another thread [[1]] - There can be minimal/virtual membership. Its just to include every interested person into Chapter. People may feel bad if we keep them away. If possible - lets try to include as many people as we can??..
*> Can we expect - new Membership (April-2013 to March 2014) will be
available
to everyone by crossing age and nationality barrier? :)
It is highly unlikely that the Registrar, should he give his approval, will be able to take a decision on this in such a compressed time frame.
Hope so at-least process will start soon. :)
Keep Exploring, Keep Inspiring!

I guess it is possible to extend membership criteria for foreign
nationals
as well youngsters below 18 years. I know NGO's from Bangalore which
accept
memberships from foreign delegates.

Lastly, The Wikipedia Club Pune isn't, AFAIK, an organisation as much as it is a collective of individuals and a Facebook page. There is a difference, in law, between that and a Society - such as WMIN.
