Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [WMIN-Members] Verification and approval of candidates.
Dear Sudhanwaji This email is regarding your queries on Elections & members. I suggest that you read the 19th March IRC again which I had posted on the mailing list.. https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2017-March/012901.html To explain a little bit more, these elections are Elections 2016, because last year we couldn't do the elections. This was so because our accounts were frozen since 2016 February & due to our FCRA issues, we were unable to pay our auditor. So technically this will be 2016 AGM where we will present our activity reports from 2015-16, even though it is 2017. About the voters in this elections, our membership tenure is from April-March. So the members whose voters list are there in this list are members from 2016-17. * "Voters eligible are those who are members as on 3 months before 23-April-2017 i.e. 23-Jan-2017." * So technically 2016-17 voters are voting for these elections,who would have been the same voters had we conducted elections in Oct/Nov 2016. If we term these elections as 2017 elections, it might have repercussions' will try to list them out.. - While filing our ROS (Registrar of Societies), a point will be picked up by Karnataka government that where are the 2016 AGM & Elections documents. This might endanger our FCRA application. - When the new EC is elected & in case any of the EC members resign , there will another AGM in October 2017 with which the new EC will have to conduct elections also. If we name that also as Elections 2017, there will be confusion.. About the tenure of the new EC members, their term will expire in October/November 2018. Regarding our activity & reports , we ae regularly updating them in our WMIN reports page. We need to update on the 1st quarter of 2017, which I will update after the elections http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Reports Hope that helps to clear some of your queries Regards, Yohann Thomas Wikimedia India On Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 12:20 PM, Sudhanwa Jogalekar wrote: > Dear Vishwa, > > From whatever you have mentioned, my name should also be there. > (Especially considering that shantanu Mahajan's name is included .

Dear Sudhanwaji For the convenience of the other subscribers of the mailing list, I will reply on your membership question in this email & your other list of questions in the next email. As part of regular reminder emails for renewal, we had sent an email in June 2016 for renewing your membership. - I had received an email from you on 2nd July 2016, that you have sent the money via Mr Shantanu Mahajan. You had also said that you had sent the soft copy also. - For this email, I have sent a reply on 4th July stating that we have not received your digital membership form. I had requested you to send the form again ,so that we could update it. But there was no reply - On the other hand, Shantanu Mahajan sent his membership form via email on 22nd May 2016, for which his membership stands renewed So, till date we have not received your membership form via email, hence your membership was not renewed. Regarding the membership fees which you gave, since you did not send me your membership form & your membership was not renewed, we have considered it as a donation. If you want we can send a donation receipt in your name. In case you want to become member of WMIN for 2017-18, request you to please send me your membership form again with your bank transaction Regards, Yohann Thomas Wikimedia India Yohann Thomas yohan...@gmail.com On Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 12:20 PM, Sudhanwa Jogalekar wrote: > Dear Vishwa, > > From whatever you have mentioned, my name should also be there. > (Especially considering that shantanu Mahajan's name is included .

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [WMIN-Members] Verification and approval of candidates.
Dear Sudhanwa, All along its life, we have had enough introspection and biopsy to make sure that this Chapter is NOT getting up on its heels any time sooner. Time and again, we have had umpteen number of doubts most of which only end up wasting much of the precious time that could have been used for some productive positive efforts for the betterment of this organization. As you very well know, the chapter is still not at its best of health. The few people who are still attending it on its ICU bed have been trying to keep its dignity by sparing their own time (and sometimes money too). The ones who are still not worn out completely are available to take all kinds of blames which should have been originally born by all of us collectively. And still, lots among us are available to stand across and to make sure that they too will wear out soon. As of now, I am not any office bearer or EC member. I am also not advocating on behalf of anyone who may be one. But I think, this is the chance for us all to come forward, fix it up and get going. It really does not matter who takes the lead, but from the chapter's point of view, somebody, anybody must kick some worthy and healthy life into it. So, please have some mercy. Let us not confuse simple minds of the less active members and onlookers by introducing rather insignificant or irresponsible questions. Now, for your fresh doubts, let me try to answer them, from the way I remember the rules and in the capacity of a former EC member (during the time when you were a chapter member and also the president of the chapter), 0. About your own membership validity and period, someone from the EC must / may reply. I have no clue about the membership records. For other general points, 1. Elections are held as per the conditions set in the MoA and the rule books. Last year's election was due by September 30,2016. However, the Chapter can extend this by special permission from the concerned Govt.official upto another 12 months or so (I am not sure exactly how many), if the necessary conditions of preparation for AGM/election could not be met due to any reasons.As I understand, in our case, the financial reports took more time due to technical reasons and thus we have secured such permissions. 2. Once the AGM/election date is fixed, the definition for vote eligibility to vote is clearly mentioned: They should be valid members on the day three months prior to the date of elections. I believe, the members enlisted on the vote list belong to this category. 3. The AGMs/ elections are necessarily to be conducted on a per year basis. If an year is missing, the immediately subsequent AGM/election will be counted as attributing to that year. Thus, the elections we conduct now are for year 2016. If everything goes well, we should have one more AGM that is pertaining to past 2006 April -2007 March, by the September of this year. However, unless there are new vacancies, the upcoming EC members shall continue along as their tenure is fixed as two years from the date of taking charge( i.e. the day of the first meeeting of EC following the General body meeting, typically in 2-4 weeks of General body meeting). 4. Since there has not been a handing over to a new EC, the present board still hold its tenure. So, their authority to decide, arrange and conduct an election and AGM continues to be valid. Thanks and regards, -Viswaprabha Note: I am only trying to help clear any confusions and help others to understand the more intricate details, as a normal chapter member and as per the knowledge and exposure as a former EC. Please note that it is not obligatory for me to be answerable to all questions you arise on behalf of the current board. P.S.: (Please refer to the MoA and WMINElectionAndAppointmentRules.pdf as linked below for the above clauses). a. http://wiki.wikimedia.in/index.php?title=Memorandum_of_ Association&%2FMoA= b. http://wiki.wikimedia.in/File:WMINElectionAndAppointmentRules.pdf On 13 April 2017 at 12:20, Sudhanwa Jogalekar wrote: > Dear Vishwa, > > From whatever you have mentioned, my name should also be there. > (Especially considering that shantanu Mahajan's name is included .
