Hi Divya, With respect to accounts, one person should look after a particular case and even for the management also.
Basically if we take on a project one person should own it and the others must support him/her. They are the team with respect to particular project and everyone should take on a particular role so that work can be distributed and can easily be done and we know whom to ask a particular query. Project reports idea is also good. We can have one page wherein we place the pdfs to be downloaded. Coming to US members' contribution never ever think that you couldn't do much. The support, the guidance is very much required. Maintenance of website, research etc., are very important. In fact, if you can see my earlier mails or in the dokkuface4 site, I mentioned it, research with respect to NGOs, causes and new ideas. Let us see. I hope we can be more active from August onwards. I will not have any personal engagements (except going out of station) so that I can concentrate the weekends completely on our activities to give much shape to our thoughts. Then we can send the mail drafted by Suresh for volunteers. Basically, it would be good, if all the volunteers do the work out of personal interest even if they had to do a work as no one else are there to substitute. No one are doing the work here for me or for other members. We are doing it out of our personal choice. This is the only request. I am sorry to say that (I think it is right point of time) if you are not happy with the way things are going on, if you don't feel that we are working according to our ideology, you can gladly move away. If every member owns the group, then no one can feel bad if there is something wrong, if they had to overwork. Sometimes it would be the case. We will learn from our mistakes.
