Dear Members,
You are all aware that three people have tendered their resignation from
the Executive Council of the Chapter so far. With the AGM and elections
round the corner, these sudden developments have affected the scheduling of
the AGM and elections as planned. Nevertheless, we are co-opting some
members to fill the vacancies and push for the scheduling of elections and
the AGM at the earliest.
Srikanth is mistaken in believing the reconstituted EC has vested interests
and indulging in nepotism. Since a few decisions have been taken without
adequate internal consultations, and the members who took these decisions
have relinquished their roles immediately after, we have to consider the
decisions as hurried. Since a major change in EC is due after the
elections, we feel that as an interim EC, we should not take some critical
long term decisions. In the process of upholding democratic practices and
setting up healthy precedences, we are leaving this decision on
appointments to the EC to be newly elected.
We value the privacy of the individual referred indirectly here, and the
individual also knows our position. We will be engaging him as a consultant
in the interim phase. Appropriate announcement will follow.
Please be assured that our desire is to uphold healthy processes and
strengthen the movement. We request every body who has misgivings to
believe in democracy and co-operate.
Regards,
Jayanta Nath
President,
Wikimedia Chapter
