Dear all:
Yes we also got to hear about the board resolution which is good news and
a
great step forward in the process.
As you may be aware, the chapter comes into effect formally only when
Wikimedia India is formally registered and approved in India under
Societies
Act. That is when the organisation becomes
operational. At that point a
formal announcement will be made. We have some distance to go in the
process.
Till then there is a lot of background work needs to be done, including
the
following:
Expert advise is being sought to take the formal registration forward.
The chapter registration will take place in Karnataka under societies
act.
The MOA needs to be translated into Kannada.
Documents will need to be filed with the registrar and will go through
due
approval process.
We believe that the entire process from filing to approval would take at
least 60 days.
When the chapter get formally operational, an announcement will be made
on
this list. We request the active participation of
all wikipedians for
activities when our chapter chapter get formally operational.
Best regards
Arun
