Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] WMIN Executive committee elections 2014 announcement
Dear Praveenp, With all due respects to you as one of the most contributing and persistent Wikipedian (I must say probably the staunchest of the backbones of Malayalam Wikipedia), I must now respond here as a member of the WMIN Executive Committee, a colleague at ml.wikipedia as well as a good friend of both of you.. Despite whatever personal issues between you and Anivar, I can vouch that Anivar too have been contributing to the Wikimedia causes in his own ways for some time now. You may not see it through the number of edits or such statistics, but his timely involvement in many events and projects have also helped Malayalam Wikisource to stand where it is now. Apart from that, he has been taking an active and serious interest in the Chapter's mission. Anivar, Pavithra and DB Srinivasa Rao were selected as the Election Committee (EleCom) via a very proper protocol by the Executive Committee. *It was the EC who solicited their help and willingness to be members of the Election Committee at a time when few were even willing to be members of the chapter.* Their selection as Election Committee was done even much before the new (restructured) EC came into form. The then EC had unanimously passed the resolution to appoint the EleCom without any conflicts among themselves. As far as the Wikimedia India Chapter is concerned, our interest in people's individual issues and relations are clearly limited to the Chapter's affairs. As I see it, being a member of the EleCom has nothing much to do with how one may be active or inactive in a rather unrelated domain, as long as one delivers the performance assumed and expected of his capacity in the right degree. I sincerely believe that the history of piques between you and Anivar has nothing to do with the conducting of WMIN elections in a free and fair manner. The Chapter would rather concentrate on much more pressing tasks for which our resources are still running bit of a short as of now. It is embarrassing to have to respond to such messages (that should be of interest in scope, to only the Chapter circles), at this honorable list, being primarily an open mail list for Indian Wikimedia projects. In the first place, that the announcement is also copied on to this list was purely with an intention to make as many Chapter members as possible.to be aware of the upcoming elections. Beyond that, anyone is welcome to ponder upon further affairs at the chapter's wiki itself, with a record and history. I also take this opportunity to urge Praveen and others to take a more long-standing interest in the chapter, be an active member there and get more involved from within, so that we can have even better qualified people to select from. It really makes a difference when you are inside the system. May I take that this discussion is now concluded with this message. :-) With love to all and malice towards none, Viswam On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 12:08 AM, praveenp me.prav...@gmail.com wrote: On 14/10/2014, Tito Dutta trulyt...@gmail.com wrote: Was not it only an announcement?
