Hi Sankarshan, 

Thanks for raising out the concern. Yes, the Wikimedia India's prime objective is to seek individuals with individual expertise. Wikimedia India is a growing organisation, hence, the individuals at the advisory council could provide the precise guidance on how to step under bigger institutional framework. 

Feel free to raise any more quires or required clarification. 

Thanks

From the document:

"The advisory board would not have any fixed size , but it is prefered
that it consist of 4-8 members.One member
would be an individual having an international experience in working
with the Wikimedia organisation. The next
group of these members would be individuals who were the founding
members of the Chapter. The last group of
members would be individuals having experience across four different
fields such as legal, information
technology, government regulation, administrative experience, etc."

The (proposed?) composition seems peculiarly skewed towards
individuals with institutional memory.
