ilugd meetings are not conducted behind closed doors
in the middle of the night,but announced on the
mailing list , the location and subject are also
mentioned.
if someone is cribbing about some decisions, then
please do be present during the meetings,or you don't
have any right to criticise the decision taken by the
members present there.
members who talked with the organizers of the LA,kept
others informed.
And the votes were cast (as happens in our great
democracy) and decision taken.
regards,
Tirveni Yadav
