Dear Ashwin Sir,

* Six-years back on April 13th, 2013 a resolution by the then General
Assembly had approved for a resolution, "Adding co-opted trustees".
Subsequently, several EC members have been co-opted. from time-to-time [1]

* The Elections are due and the reason for the same have been communicated
on WMIN Members Mailing List on 15th May. It is only for that reason I have
accepted EC's decision to be co-opted. I would also like to make a public
declaration, I will not take privilege of any perks or benefits while
serving the office of WMIN as a co-opted EC.

* For further updates, and for Community Members not on WMIN Members
Mailing List, requesting to wait for sometime. A mail has been sent
addressing to the WMF Staff who has posted a message here. It consist of
all information. [2]

[1] http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Memorandum_of_Association* I find there is
some problem with the document here and would fix it. *

[2] I had unsubscribed from this mailing list for the last two months due
to hectic personal life. Hence, Mailing List admins have to approve my
mail.
