From the RA WCom & RA Entry Board reg misleading statements about Entry process

Dear Residents and Newcomers, 

It has come to our notice that those impersonating the 'Working Committee' have recently posted on Auronet a series of misleading statements about the new procedure for Admissions & Terminations. 
We would like to clarify that: 

1. Contrary to what the Office of the Secretary and their appointees pretend, the matter is not settled yet. The validity of the new Admissions & Terminations Regulations, published on 4th January 2024, has been legally challenged. Until a verdict has been given by the hon'ble Madras High Court, the matter is subjudice. 
2. The Entry Board was selected by the community to do a certain work and it intends to do it until the Residents' Assembly asks them to stop, or otherwise instructed by the courts. 
3. While the cases are before the Madras High Court, the Entry Board has been advised not to process new applications for the time being. However, existing Newcomer processes will continue to be taken care of at a reduced speed, subject to relevant orders in pending cases from the Madras High Court.
4. As such, Newcomers are invited to continue with their process and Residents are invited to continue sending relevant feedback on applicants, when it is sought. Requests, queries and feedback can be sent to entryservice@auroville.services. 

We hope the Office of the Secretary and their appointees can keep a humane approach and let the Housing Service allocate Newcomer housing to all those who are following the process.

Let's keep faith that these trying times serve a greater purpose.

In community,

Your RA Working Committee (Aravinda, Bharathy, Chali, Maël (TOS), Sauro, Valli)
and the Entry Board of the Residents' Assembly
