Thanks Gautam ,
Would it be a good idea to record the Agenda & MoM of the EC meetings ( &
hopefully previous ones, if there are ) ? That may possibly help the
community to be in sync with what the chapter is thinking & planning.. and
important decisions that are taken. Thoughts ?
Not sure, whether there is a possibility of an annual meeting within this
financial year as articulated by MoA.
One person raised a question to me privately, I thought it might be good to
ask here, that whether the current term of office bearers like President etc
and EC members starts from the date of approval of the chapter or
registration date of the chapter in India ?
Last year 2010, Arunram & Hari Nadig represented India at the
Chapter committees in Berlin , as chapter to be. It will be a proud moment
as we are representing us as an official chapter for the first time, this
year. Was wondering if the community has some expectations on this.
Thoughts?
Congrats and best wishes to Anirudh who is representing India at Frankfurt,
Germany on the movement roles Project
As we wait for the announcements of Wikimedia Foundation office in India &
National Program Director, I believe 2011 will be a great year for the
Wikimedia India movement.

Tinu Cherian

Thank you, Tinu.

deviation again :) )
Hi Praveen,
May I ask , what is not really clear about the chapter ? Wikimedia India
chapter is registered now as a legal entity in India [1] in Jan 2010 ;
there
is an Executive committee with 7 members , the
office bearers are
[2] Arun
Ramarathnam, President ; BalaSundaraRaman
Lakshmanan, Secretary ; Arjuna
Rao Chavala, Treasurer etc
May be it is time for the chapter to open up the membership to the
community?
or even making the agenda & meeting minutes of the Wikimedia India
chapter
EC available to all like the Wikimedia Foundation
Board [3] ( so that
these
confusions to "common Wikimedians" can
be avoided) ?
If there are still any misunderstandings/unclear things, the EC members
must
be happy to answer them.
I'm all excited to see the Wikimedia India chapter getting more active
and
the chapter & community working closely in
the coming days.

N.B. I am not speaking on behalf of the chapter , neither am I a EC
member/ordinary member. My understandings are based on various threads on
the mailing lists.

I like that "incidental fallout" phrase. ;-) I can now understand why
chapter and none of its activities are clear to common wikimedian. :)
