Dear EC, Members of the Chapter, I am not pleased with the way things are working out right now. The EC passed a resolution to appoint a senior Indic language Wikipedian as the Program Director on the recommendation of a four member committee consisting of Jayanta, Sudhanwa, Moksh, and Naveen for a probation period of three months, starting on the 1st of September 2014. Subsequently, the newly reorganised EC has done every bit to prevent the appointment of said person. It is with extreme displeasure that I have to state that this kind of nepotism at the hands of vested interests prevents me from working well. Due to this, I am resigning as an member of the Executive Committee with immediate effect.
Sad to hear that you're leaving EC. Wishes for your life ahead!
May we know, what do you (or EC) mean by Program Director?
As per another thread on the list, Jayanta Nath is the new President of Wikimedia India Chapter, and he informed that any new hiring by WMIN is kept on hold for now. Could someone please clarify? Thanks. Thanks, Arnav. (User:Rangilo_Gujarati).

Hi,
Now that my name is already put up in the mail, this is just for some clarification.
At the time of the telephonic interview, I was not aware of the salary structure to be offered to the person. Also, I was not aware that the offer was for probation period only. My recommendations/comments were sent after the telecon.
The resignation episodes happened later on and I had sent my comments about the hiring to be put on hold considering the resignations.
Regards -Sudhanwa
