Tinu, Its after midnight. I think we should wait till tomorrow for an answer before being so decisive about the transparency. I am more concerned about the future structure. Even if you go by the chapter approval date, its been 7 months of which only 1 month was official. I am not sure if they hav

Hearty congratulations to Arjuna Rao , Hari Prasad & Anirudh Bhati as the new office bearers of the Wikimedia India chapter. Well deserved & best wishes for the future. Having said that, this unexpected announcement leaves me with several unanswered questions. This has to do nothing with any doubt
