I'm still getting these mails.
Jayanta da, please look into the allegations made by this anonymous account. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "IAC techs" iac.techs@gmail.com Date: 06-Nov-2014 11:29 am Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [WMIN-Members] Fwd: Grossly Obscene pornographic images on WIKIMEDIA.IN To: ravidreams@wikimedia.in Cc:
QUOTE: "A member informed Anivar and informed that non-members of a society must not interfere with its election process as per the Karnataka Society rules "
Please cite the rule. Otherwise explain why the "COMMUNITY" was invited to pose queries to candidates till 15.Nov.2014. It has always been clearly understood that "community" refers to "Wikipedia users community" and Wikimedia "India" is known as "Chapter".
Is it your case that candidates for WMIN should not reply to queries from the community ?
Do you have anything to hide ? All these files of pornography, child pornography and LGBT pornography which is being distributed from your filthy website ? Who is packing WMIN EC with LGBT activists ? Why do you have so many fake members that most votes are invariably cast through postal ballots ?
Insofar as WMIN Chapter is concerned, it is essentially restricted in its operations to state of Karnataka. If you want to operate pan-India register yourself under a central enactment like the 1860 Act or Multi States Co-op Act. Until then call yourself Wikimedia Chapter or Wikimedia Chapter (Karnataka) and do not publish your obscene pornography outside the state of Karnataka.

Hi,
Since this is being discussed in open lists,
I request community members not to engage with this issue directly. Doing so will only complicate the issue further. Any community member getting such mails can forward them to chapter at wikimedia dot in .
Wikimedia Chapter (India) is well informed of this issue and will take
care
of this in a formal way.
Thanks,
Ravi
Hello, Looking at issues objectively, the chapter has always been working with and for the community. All the members come from the community. In layman terms I think the only privilege of the membership holders is to elect and be elected and a few other responsibilities that can be realised only within a formal structure.

While the graduate constituency MLC elections are open for only graduates it does not mean that others cannot raise questions to the candidates. It is just that only graduates can vote and be elected. I think the same thought process applies here. It would be good to remove the artificial restriction else the chapter may be reduced to only the numbers who are members.
