I  am  repeating  this in  case  it  was  not  clear from  my  earlier
email. Mr Radhakrishnan has clarified  it, but you seem to have missed
my point.

I was specifically asking about what the FSF-I board and FSF-I working
group  are  doing. I  wasn't  asking  about  what any  individual  is
doing. I asked it just because I thought I was allowed to know.

I could not  find any resource explaining what  the FSF-India board is
and what  the FSF-India  working group is.  So I expected  some secret
cartel.

I am  not a  board member or  working group  member.

Please don't be angry with me.  I am just looking for information. Let
me know (off-line) clearly if you don't want me to ask.

But what about the FSF-India board.  Is it not any thing special? Then
why was it formed at all? Is the working group not special? Again, let
clarify that I am asking doubts and not accusing any one.

But I came  to know about a few new working  groups being formed, much
after  the inauguration  of FSF-India.  May  be these  are the  secret
cartels. (What else can I infer?  I am being told that some thing that
was formed was deprecated before it was formed)

Any one who think I have no right to ask these questions.
