In the interests of the community if the EC by its actions has led to the state of affairs, it is always better for these to be brought to light in public. Let the public then decide whether their trust in these members was justified or not.

Hi Ashwin, //, it is always better for these to be brought to light in public. Let the public then decide whether their trust in these members was justified or not.// Every one is for transparency. The only request is to discuss these things in chapter wiki or mailing list which is the appropriate forum. Wikimedia India chapter is an open membership driven organization that has enough structure to discuss and sort out things like these. If the chapter members unanimously want to draw indian / global community's attention on any thing, then they can pass a resolution in chapter wiki's village pump and post the link here. Wikimedia India mailing list is not a place to run a parallel or proxy chapter.

I Completely agree with you, Vikram. And due respects to your words and to the forum! Even before your mail, I had already decided not to reply anymore or languish within this thread, unnecessary and quite out of place. My earlier responses were only to clarify on the points raised which were addressed, by name, to me.

Using a public mailing lists to sort out details that should be discussed within the Board or within the EC is deplorable. Look at all the successful movements around the world and you will find that the simple reason for their success is discipline of thought, word and action. Leading a movement such as the free knowledge movement called Wikipedia constrained by the challenges of a pluralistic culture requires a ton of maturity. There are also challenges of working with a team or teams that comes with diverse experiences and view points and I can assure you that getting frustrated and quitting or using a public forum to wash dirty linen is not the way forward. Discipline, patience and perseverance are the keys. The free knowledge movement provides us with an opportunity to not only refine society but also ourselves as human beings. Please use this opportunity wisely. With fraternal greetings from the Free Software Movement in India Vikram Vincent ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
