Dear Moderators of RTI Group, Thanks for this Mail , So you have oputsourced The Group and its Poll and the Messages related to the poll to another Yahoo group. Constantly I am reminding this Group which carries Each and every message in rti_india group virtually clogging in boxes and repeting all and sundry . When i wrote to them these moderators stated that it will deprive them and their group members of Information . NOW , What are achiving by Posting an Very limited Poll meant for one group along with Messages Related to that poll . Arguably they may say since we are members of this Group , you are Depriving our members of the poll also . Is this not a blunder . I hope rti_india group Moderators will think of some method's to ensure our privacy of the poll is retained at least till the Polling period , this is just like prepoll survey

Use of RTI to obstruct working of Govt is very tricky issue, every RTI application seeking information can be termed as " obstructing working of Govt" particularly where vested interests of corrupt officers are involved.How group will define, whether particular issue or information being sought is obstructing work of Govt or not.I CAN FIND EXECUSES AND ARGUMENTS IN EVERY APPLICATION UNDER RTI ACT, OBSTRUCTING WORKING OF GOVT. 2. I agree that RTI should not be used to victimise honest officers. 3. File notings are integeral part of decision making disclosure of which cannot be termed as obstructing working of Govt or victimising honest officers. I thing we can discuss three issues seperatelly and seek voting.
