Those are two different issues of reporting, Satdeep. Anyways, I think that matter has been sorted for now. Sure, that would be a good way. We can discuss about conflicts in private mail. Abhinav On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 9:46 PM Satdeep Gill wrote: > Hi all, > > Documentation and Reporting

Hello Ashwin Sir, It is a matter of one’s personal privacy. Otherwise, I would have shared the delegate name immediately. This is similar to sharing Bodisattwa’s talk about 2016 Wikimania where I shared the relevant link on his personal email. If anyone is not comfortable then why force and

Abhinav, I think it's a valid expectation for a public report from any volunteer in the movement when the donation money is spent. So, please don't apologize to me. But there are many factors — priorities in life, time commitment, need for something, and many more that stops one from being

My two bits. Transparency is one issue and its good that some one asked about it and very good that the CIS is answering the concerns. However, the tone here appears to be that for every decision about the organisation of a CIS event, consensus is a must with the community. That is not so. The CIS
