Outbound: Responses as required to incoming correspondence.

Matters Arising:
The EC discussed the question of Gorachand Paramanik’s membership “termination” from the SPGB and joining to the WSP (I) with respect to the two emails mentioned above. The EC is in complete agreement with the SPGB position: “that it is the practice of the Worldwide Companion Parties to accept the transfer of members without undergoing a membership application test.”
Accordingly, the WSP (I) General Secretary talked with Gorachand Paramanik over phone twice on this issue – the last one in the 5th December evening asking him to either write a formal email message or fill up the website application form (without answering to the Questionnaire) just to signify his willingness to join the WSP (I) which he agreed to.
However, on the 6th instant he sent the email saying: “I regret to inform you that, am unable to join to WSP(I) at this moment. Because I see if my termination of membership from the SPGB is democratic, so, I think the proposal for reconciliation between the WSP(I) and WSG(I) were bureaucratic.”
MSC: That under this circumstance we look for the SPGB EC’s suggestion and Gorachand Paramanik’s further action.
