[rti_india] Clarification on ethics in India

 

dear members

Sarbajit's remark about the lack of a "code of conduct" for RTI
Information Commissioners makes me post this.

I am in-charge of a substantial budget (we are financed by a cess on
the whisky trade) which we grant to NGOs/SAGs operating in UDC and LDC
nations in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, Now while some SAGs in
India accept our funds directly as cash / bank transfers, others
insist that they shall only take it in the form of hospitality, air
tickets to conventions etc.

I need to know more about this since my governors have asked me about
this to finalize our foundation's grants for next year.

Cheers.

PS: In case anyone on this mailing list meets our criteria for
financing, we still have 2 grants open for India (Euro 350,000 each) ,
1 for advocacy promoting road access and signage in urban
concentrations, the other to prepare a national survey on electronic
information access to public records by unconventional means to aid
the disabled and limb challenged.
