folks: we had discussed the sikshana project this past meeting (6th april, 2003) and it was decided that a team comprising melli, harish and myself (this team also includes all project stewards and will be called the project coordination team) will recommend specific follow up actions. so here goes: 1. the project should be approved for routing of funds through asha-MIT for a period of 2 years (also see item 6). 2. funds will be accepted as checks made out to "asha for education" with "asha-MIT, sikshana" in the memo. 3. funds will be accumulated and a single check sent every 6 months. 4. the min and max amount that will be routed per 6-month period will be $1000 and $5000, respectively. 5. a steward will handle the project locally from asha-MIT. 6. funds routing will continue for the 2nd year depending on the project reports/feedback after the first year. if anyone has specific recommendations/objections then please post them on strategy. if by friday 11th april no opinions are posted then the sikshana proposal will be approved as above.
