Hello Soeb and the rest in WCFC,
I missed to share a bit more of my understanding, in my earier posting. Here they are.
1. Most of the existing members of WCFC are really quiet capable of formulating plans, strategizing and ideating. These are NOT ordinary skills. Managing WCFC may not be possible without these skills. But the ones that are capable of wading thru knee deep water and slush and reaching the needy people are nowhere in the picture. It is people with these kind of mental makeup and physical tenacity, who are the need of the hour. I mentioned the need of youngsters from this context.
2. Youngsters, who are yet to get settled in their life (profession/occupation/job) are the ones capable of doing incredible tasks, rain or shine. It is these kind of people, who continue to keep a service-orientation in their later part of life too. I am NOT able to find a good number of them in WCFC. May be they are NOT the net-surfing lot like me, participating in community networks like Ryze.
3. WCFC is an experiment. If it succeeds, pretty fine. If not, there is always enough room in the society to make people associate themselves with objectives dear to their hearts. May be, we have to draw a balance between desire and wherewithal to realize it.
4. Presently, we don't have even one single group of 10 people, who are closely known to each other, in WCFC. It is the emergence of such a group that can really accomplish what is planned. There should a natural affinity and homogenity in group-working.
5. And here is something that I am sharing as a sharp observation, risking outright criticism from all quarters. There is a certain warmth and fellow-feeling that the netizens get through the net. It is a convenient medium for the middle and upper middle class people to ventilate their pent-up grievances, share joys and even broadcast grand plans. Many of them are really NOT serious about what happens after what they publish in the net.
6. There is a peculiar self-importance that the net promotes deviously. People want to be contacted by others, exceptions apart. So the organizer of an event gets exasperated in organizing any meet or action, as it becomes a case of soliciting, soliciting and soliciting the presence of one and all.
7. I certainly will be happy to find somebody, who has a better acceptability to people in this network, who can accept the responsibility to lead WCFC and I would like to serve him.
8. Yes, this is the msg that I would like to share with everybody in the WCFC, expecting any possible course correction.
