As the proposal has already gone to BMTC, I felt the urgency.
Sorry I am lost on this one but, what has Janagrahaa/City connect got to do with the proposal Syed and team have sent to BMTC? I thought silkboard junction redesign was being discussed.
thursday 9 am, physical meeting

[Important point first - please don't take this as a crib. I am not whining because I wont be able to attend. I am writing this comment because it is linked to the essence of why this online community was created.]
Such meetings are a test for majority
- A weekday - Thursday
- Early morning, 9.15 am, when half of the members here, and 3/4th of Bangalore will be rushing for their first meeting or grilling.
Sir, think for a moment, who will be in a position to attend such meetings
- Retired folks
- Students, interns
- Those who do this for a living (full time NGO members or activists)
The bulk of people who want to help with such work, who wish to engage will not be in a position to attend.
I have heard a possibly valid counter-argument to what I say above - if you are dedicated enough for the city, why not bunk your work and attend civic meetings. Thats a good rhetoric, but doesn't work, not practical.
The need of the hour is to collaborate using Internet and phones.

Dear silkboard,
The choice was to have meeting at this time & date or not meet for two weeks as I am not in town this week end and Janaagraha staff are not free upto 4th Saturday.As the proposal has already gone to BMTC, I felt the urgency.
As I said whoever can may join to break the ice. We will have further meetings at more convenient timings.
Pathy
I suggest the same to Pathy sir

I suggested the same to Pathy Sir, on a different thread - he mentioned that this was only priliminary meeting -
The 6th Aug. meeting is preliminary. Those who can may join.
We will try for another meeting during week end.
I request Mr Muralidhar & Mr. Suhas to try and join on 6th.
K.V.Pathy
Naveen has said that he will try to make it.

No point going back to edit my earlier comment, but want to apologize for the tone above. Point stands though.
I will join a weekend or weeknight skype meeting.
