This is little strange, I can understand that voting and nominations are members only regime but why the community is not allowed to participate even in QA is not clear to me. If it is so, there should be no wiki page or onwiki discussion, or login process on wikimedia.in should be membership number based.

We notice that you are a member of the WIKIMEDIA.IN website and actively promoting LGBT issues there including for your election campaign. We suppose you know that at the present time carnal intercourse against the order of nature is against India's laws, and distributing grossly obscene / pornographic images of it via WIKIMEDIA.IN is a serious criminal offence which IAC has reported to the concerned agencies and is seriously prosecuting. IAC is also monitoring WIKIMEDIA.IN to assist law enforcement agencies. This email is being sent to you as the illegally appointed returning officer Anivar Aravind has deleted IAC's query for all candidates for the WMIN EC vacancies (which was publicly posted to WIKIMEDIA.IN by one of IAC's volunteers as a member of the community). http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Elections2014/Nominations/Q%26A http://wiki.wikimedia.in/index.php?title=Elections2014%2FNominations%2FQ%26Aaction=historysubmitdiff=35158oldid=35146 PS: And another editor was banned from WIKIMEDIA.IN for asking queries on racism and discrimination against Indians at WIKIPEDIA, again by Anivar who also refuses to publish the non-existent Karnataka Society Rule 1961 to prevent community members posing queries (which actual official rules can be accessed here) https://www.karnataka.gov.in/karigr/actsrules/karnatakasocietiesact.htm from which it is abundantly clear that you are ineligible to contest elections and Anivar cannot conduct it. -- Disclaimer: The Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) is an autonomous entity with no direct control over the Wikipedia project and other websites hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, USA.

As you all know, we at WMIN Elecom initially thought about opening it for all . But a member informed us non-members of a society must not interfere with its election process and opening QA with candidates to non members is a violation of this . We asked WMIN to cross check it and as per the advice we received we restricted the privilege for asking questions to members alone . But the pages will remain open for observing the election process for community . It is documented here http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Talk:Elections2014#Communications_with_EC_and_Mailing_Lists_about_New_Account_Creation_Blocking If any community members interested in chapter affairs , take a membership and participate in next year elections Anivar ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Hi, Since this is being discussed in open lists, I request community members not to engage with this issue directly. Doing so will only complicate the issue further. Any community member getting such mails can forward them to chapter at wikimedia dot in . Wikimedia Chapter (India) is well informed of this issue and will take care of this in a formal way.

Yogesh , read it and that have answer to your question :-) Or get in touch with WMIN as Ravi informed . Also to my understanding as an analogy those who stand for election election as MPs etc. aren't constitutional experts and legal luminaries? Same with Elecom. We are volunteers for conducting election process, We depends on legal advice from WMIN .
