Hi,
I have replied on the thread on meta. Copying that content here for
reference:
Anirudh has already mentioned most of the points I also wanted to say.

I will add a few more things here. WMF is very very ke
I feel that there is a lot of negativity which comes from some genuine
frustrations but also impulsive action. As the situation is fairly complex, it
would be useful to stick to the facts only. A lot of new subscribers to this

Is the funding issue the only issue that is the problem? It appears that
there are other issues as well. The EC members except for Abhinav, who is a
recent inductee, are silent. They need to speak up to give their view on
all the issues concerned, especially as they were in the EC during the
period
Dear Ashwin Sir,
With all due respect you are deviating from the topic. In my different
capacities with different affiliates, I have been bestowed with the

The AffCom has a number of complaints against the Chapter. The implication
is that the EC has been intentionally or unintentionally remiss in meeting
some requirements specified by them.

Dear Ashwin Sir,
Our only point is if there are a set of complaints then put them in Public
domain. Let the community read and review it for themselves. We never
intend to say we have been subject of injustice. All we have been saying
abide to 'Transparency'. Community is good enough to read and u
I made a mistake, in that I had forgotten this thread was started not by a
Chapter member but by some one else, so I withdraw my remark about the
title of the thread and apologize to Chris for the remark.

Hello Ashwin,
I believe there are valid concerns regarding the current composition of the
EC as well, but I do not think revocation of WMIN's license as a Wikimedia
chapter is a correct response, especially not based on the rationale
provided by Chris/WMF in their email above. If the Foundation s
Dear Anirudh And All,
*Abhinav - I would also like to hear a collective response from the EC
regarding this situation and how they aim to work with the Foundation and
the community to correct it. *
An action plan will be provided very shortly.

Dear All,
Wikimedia India (WMIN) always appreciates the community members who step
forward to support the India Chapter and have provided the confidence for a
national mandate. WMIN is a volunteer-run organisation and it is a
privilege to receive the support from the volunteers on this problem. WM
Hello Abhinav,
Can the EC directly address the question regarding the lack of trust among
members of the community as far as the current composition of the EC is
concerned, and how the EC intends to resolve this? If there are no changes
in the composition of the EC, I do not see how the situation
Dear Anirudh,
Before replying to your query, I must make it clear that eventhough Abhinav
is now handling the communications with the AffCom & the overall community,
regarding the suspension notice, your query on this issue, predates when

Hi Chris,
What to you mean by "The Affiliations Committee is a community-run body of
volunteers"? It is run by the WMF, not the community. Even the choice of
AffCom members is not made by the community, but by the AffCom itself.
Pretending that it is community run is not true, it's entirely comman
Hello, Chris,
Will you be responding to the above queries and concerns?
