Arvind,
Irrespective of the facts, firstly these emails are quite misleading, for
no reason except to target me. Firstly, the grant is no way related to the

Dear Arvind Menon,
It's not the question of your username/real identity but about protocols of
an organization that is staff-led and is run with some community oversight.
This list, on the other hand, is a volunteer-led forum. So, I'd concur with
Tito that jumping into conclusions too fast is not
Greetings, these days I often get 2 emails when someone sends an email to a
list. One from the mailing list and another from the Wikimedia Space.
Anyway, I am not worried about the Wiki-identity/username part here, nor I

Hello everyone,

Menon” - this email is very much a personal attack on me, to misguide a
community member, character assasination and to defame, all using a fake
profile. If the person is actually seeking any information for
Hi Arvind,
There are many cases where WMF appointed someone for x community and
