Hi,
2013/8/20 Karthik Nadar <karthikndr(a)wikimedia.in>
Congratulations to Moksh and Jayantha, and kudos to
Sudhanwa Jogalekar, Anirudh
Bhati and Bala Jeyaraman for their priceless contribution.
Arun, yes, we are planning for another meeting soon in Mumbai, where we
shall be present while others will be present in call, so as to define each
others role as the earliest.
The first meeting of the new EC (along with outgoing EC) is crucial to be
done face to face for the following reasons
a) Reflection on the year gone by and capturing lessons learnt
b) Team building workshop to learn the approaches and strengths,
expectations of one another
b) Election of office bearers and other roles of the EC
c) Strategy discussion and outline of priority programs and champions
till the next year
d) Finalisation of budget for the current financial year
e) Strategy, programs, budget for the next financial year (required for
FDC funding proposal due by 1 Oct 2013). The newly elected EC members input
will be critical as they will be continuing for the whole of next
financial year.
Additional information for Election is available in the Elections and
Appointment Rules for WIkimedia Chapter Official positions

Expenses for meeting should not be a constraint in conducting face to face
meeting. Face to Face meeting of joint EC was done in the last year in
which the outgoing EC participated. Hope the Executive Committee will
consider the above and finalise their meeting plans.
Cheers
Arjuna
