Hi Abhinav,
Thanks for the reminder, I have replied to the earlier email with inline
comments.

Hello Tanveer
This is just a friendly reminder that you are supposed to reply on this
thread. It has been more than 1 month now since I floated my concerns.
Although you are no longer a part of the Access to Knowledge Team and now a
staff with Wikimedia Foundation, I understand you are still part of the
movement and could answer for your previous office. I am copying this on
your Wikimedia Foundation Mail Id as well.
The silence has been a cause of personal trouble for me. I have been
subject to personal humiliation such as, 'witch hunt' on this thread.
As claimed by you that best efforts would be undertaken to provide reports
by the end of August, hasn't happened. We are now in the 37th week of the
year. The clarity on how the public money is being spent by CIS-A2K still
remains unclear.
