Prioritization of topics for RAD’s

Confronted with many requests for various decisions of the Residents’ Assembly, the Auroville Council organized a poll to help it and the Residents’ Assembly Service determine which topics for Residents’ Assembly Decisions (RADs) the community felt to be the most important at this moment in time. The poll result showed the top three topics for RADs, in order of priority, as (1) No confidence in the Working Committee given its failure to ‘assist’ and ‘represent’ the Residents’ Assembly as stated in their mandate, and a call for the selection of a new Working Committee; (2) the membership of the Auroville Town Development Council (ATDC - this questions the legitimacy of the present ATDC constituted by the Secretary, via an office order in July 2021, as the members were not selected by the Residents Assembly as is statutorily mandated; and (3) approval of the Internal Exit policy – the last draft version, incorporating two rounds of feedback, was presented by the Exit Policy Task Force in a General Meeting in March 2020, and provides a proposed internal framework for the application and implementation of the Auroville Foundation (Admission and termination of Persons in the register of residents) Regulations, 2020 which came into force on April 4th, 2020.
