RA WCom: Nomination of Exit Review Group
Dear Community,
As announced on the 7th of December (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dH6_5hE6_ZiBdpi6C-EjjRPEeniV9o1K/view), we have nominated 9 residents for Auroville's first Exit Review Group (aka Termination Committee, as per the Auroville Admission and Termination Regulations, 2020). During the 3-day feedback period of the 8th, 9th, and 10th December, no feedback was received. Therefore, we now call an Emergency Residents' Assembly Decision-making process to ask the RA to approve or disapprove the appointment of these 9 nominees: Ashesh JOSHI - Auromodele, Auradha MARKUS - Certitude, Bhuvanasundari SUDHARSAN - Certitude, Ramesh Rao ACHANTA (Bunty) - Auromodele, Dhandapani SELLAKANNU - Aurelec, Ganesh KALIAPPAN – Protection Pascal Francois Dominique VENET (Rakhal) - Sukhavati, Rakhee KANE - Petite Ferme, and Simonette Albertine SMITS (Tineke) - Centre Field as the Exit Review Group (aka Termination Committee).
Summary of our announcement of December 15th, 2023:
• The Residents' Assembly has a legal requirement and a community responsibility to take in hand, as a collective body, the function of reviewing the status of residents of Auroville as and when needed.
• The Hon'ble Madras High Court has recently re-affirmed that the Residents' Assembly (RA) is a statutory (legal) body and cannot be restricted in carrying out its functions as per the Auroville Foundation Act. (See Sept. 4th, 2023 ruling of MHC (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zEOufjFsg0YCgf29WhpeabYqIlq9cGJe/view.))
• According to the Admission and Termination Regulations, 2020, "The Residents’ Assembly shall constitute a Termination Committee whose members shall be appointed directly by the Residents’ Assembly or by a committee constituted by it for the purpose." (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CoVbont2kvVP2Y4t3Mcw7dbpbbsZCMxa/view)
• In the RA Decision dated 14th August 2023 it was resolved that the Working Committee of the Residents' Assembly (Aravinda Maheshwari, Chali Grinnell, Hemant Lamba, Ilayabharathy Somasundaram, Mael Shanti Vidal (TOS), Sauro Mezzetti, Valli Senthilkumar) be allowed "to appoint, replace, or add members or constitute groups as needed to fulfill Auroville’s organizational needs and/or statutory functions as required by the Auroville Foundation Act (1988) in a speedy manner." Specifically, this RA Decision also grants the RA WCom with "the power to constitute new groups as needed (e.g. an Exit Committee)." (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GQv6vJqxydbOihzJa1_6bLGRfQoOUvYw/view).
• The constitution of an Exit Review Group is not ill-willed against any specific resident and is not intended to escalate the current disharmony.
• The primary reason for constituting this group is to ensure that the Residents' Assembly's statutory functions are fulfilled in a respectful and reasonable way and are not left unattended.
• The Exit Review Group will function strictly within the framework of the Admission and Termination Regulations (2020).
The RAD will run from Friday, 15th December through Sunday, 24th of December. Please keep an eye out for personalized emails from the Residents' Assembly Service (RAS) and announcements about timings for in-person participation.
Options for participation will be:
I agree
I disagree
I don't know
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to write to workingcom@auroville.services or come to our open house, on Tuesdays between 10 and 12, in the old Koodam office, parking and entrance opposite the Auroville Library.
