RA WCom: New letter by the IAC to the GB

Dear community,

We are sharing with you a new letter by three members of the International Advisory Council

(IAC) to the Governing Board (GB), about controversial land exchanges in Auroville. The data

sheet referred to in this letter can be found here.

These three IAC members have agreed that we share their letter with the community, with the

condition that it is not circulated further. We therefore ask you not to post it on social media nor

on any other public forums.

We take this opportunity to again thank Michel Danino, Gabi Gilessen and Dena Merriam for

their continued support in questioning the opaque and dubious land exchanges being carried

out by the Secretary's Office with the approval of the GB. We are grateful that these three

members of the IAC have offered valuable ideas on an alternative way forward, which we hope

will be followed by the GB.

We continue to trust that with goodwill from all sides, and with real collaboration between the

three pillars of the Auroville Foundation, a positive way forward can be found.

In service,

Your RA Working Committee

Aravinda, Bharathy, Chali, Mael (TOS), Matthieu, Prashant, Valli
