A Big Step Forward for the Computer Society of India (CSI)

Thanks to a decision of the Honorable High Court of Bombay, a major verification of the membership list of CSI is underway. CSI’s membership is being updated by verifying email addresses and phone numbers by sending one-time passwords. If you do not have the right communication details, you can request CSI HQ to update them by sending them an email.

This has put a tremendous load on the CSI HQ, but progress doesn’t come easy.

The mammoth task has had its glitches, but improvements made in the last few days has resulted in a lot of us getting verification completed in one try.

I request all CSI members to try to get the verification completed by the deadline, which is 20-Jun-2023. The next step is to vote without fail after the ballot reaches us. This is a rare opportunity to save this national institution and a great professional network.

We must have a higher percentage of members voting this year as compared to the historical record. It is the low voting percentage that caused problems to CSI in the past.
