Dear Ravi,

Thanks so much for all the feedback and the useful questions that you are asking.

The former WMF India programs did not get any financial support from the Wikimedia India Trust. How were programs like India Education program run? Will this come under FCRA violation? How is the IEP different from any community led event in receiving foreign money and executing projects?

Let us start the discussion from this :)

Just to be clear - the Wikimedia India Trust was never operationalised. WIT did not manage or financially support the IEP or the activities of the former WMF India programme. The India programmes was directly run by the WMF. If I am not mistaken the team were employees or consultant of WMF. The money was not routed through any Indian entity.

Best wishes,

Sunil
