Excellent Archu!

Thanks for getting us back on track. Now the "why" is clear, lets do focus
on the "how" part this year.

Perhaps work on efforts under two heads:

- Technical implications - meaning domain registration, hosting,
configuration, team along with identified roles.
- Functional implications - formation of interest/ focus groups ( keeping up
content, information, disbursing events, attending to media queries etc.,)
and identifying related roles.

Have hung out at Indichix for about a year now and think the lack of defined
"admins/volunteers"  does raise various concerns. Kinda like "too many cooks
in the kitchen" problem. This is good as everyone gets involved (don't get
me wrong) but the presentation/statement of issues, guiding discussions does
not happen well.

"All issues" are openly discussed in the list where our new members hang
out. Some discussions have "past" influences which sidetracks discussions
from the logical solution to the discussed problem.
