Constitution amendment: Remove second item from goals

PP Pirate Praveen Public Seen by 41

Currently second point in Goals section of our constitution states, "We would like to engage with more young and educated citizens and bring positive change with their involvement."

As suggested by @Kannan V M https://www.loomio.org/d/SFfYwagX/associate-requests/183 I think we can remove it. This was there from the original draft but no one thought it as a problem till now.

@Akshay can you propose the amendment then? @Kannan V M can you propose this as new goal? As for official language, English became the de-facto language. We can record it if that helps in some way.

Like "we recognize language is a barrier for communication and we understand the need for information available in different languages. We will do efforts for making information available in different languages with availability of volunteers."

Official language will be English? (this could go for a voting)

I agree with @Akshay 's wordings. We can add reachoit and translation as a different goal.

If @Kannan V M @Bady @Abraham Raji and @michael john sinclair. agrees to the new wording. You can propose this change. I will close the current proposal.

"We engage with people who have the energy and the inclination to change the system." is something I think crisply captures the idea which can still sound inclusive.

OK I can remove that. Once @Kannan V M and @Akshay agrees to this text, I will propose a vote.

How about this, "We would like to engage with people who have access to the internet and can speak English initially (until we have a critical mass). We understand this is a limitation we need to overcome eventually. We seek to remove the barriers of language and technology which prevents others from participating. This could include actions such as translation of content and finding ways to reach out to people who are denied access to the internet. Once we find enough people willing to do the translations, we can include more languages for participating in decisions too."

Intelligent people exist without Education so we could use this to.

But Citizen is exclusive because not all the people in the world have citizen status,
