Dear Dr Gupta
As the ERNET's website (ernet-iima.rhcloud.com) says "the right to free speech includes the right to anonymous free speech". See also [1]
The medium is not the message. The honeybee is neither the nectar nor the flower. "I" am only the humble bumblebee who fertilises a rose today and the sunflower tomorrow.
Incidentally, this people's platform was founded by like minded stakeholders in IIMA after the IIMA finally enunciated it's "free speech" policy after a series of high profile cyber crimes (and connected plagiarism scandals) which plagued IIM-A got reported.
These fundamental policies (ie. "IT Policy for IIM-A") were summarised on 30.09.2013 by Cdr. (Retd) Manoj Bhatt (Chief Administrative Officer / Secretary of IIM-A Board of Governors) on behalf of the Institute as follows:-
The Institute promotes research by students in varieties of fields. The Institute upholds freedom of speech and opinions. The mere fact that online facility allows editing means there is a purpose behind it, that is people can have divergent views and can express it. The online platform entries are based on publicly available and accessible information as a mere attempt to compile existing information in the public domain without bias. Thus in the IIM-A's opinion we do not find any wrong doing is being done.
The copy of the document can be accessed from CAO to get all answers to your query (and it can be placed in public domain if CAO denies it).

I still did not get answer to my question about yourself, unless you think revealing your identity violates some ethical code
Sent from my iPadOh, for 1 moment there we were taken aback that the report was incorrect. So thanks for the confirmation that its not.
Apropos, as who is running that mailing list, it is ultimately a people's mailing list of all persons connected as stakeholders to either a) IIM-A or b) Quality research with ethics and integrity.
The group is a subset of much larger academic network lists we run. Of course, at present we began with those few "@iimahd.ernet.in" emails IDs we had. We're now adding / inviting in some of the eminent registered ethical researchers in India (about 640 names) from our database. We estimate the list will probably have about 3,700 subscriber when we launch formally in about 9 days from now..
Membership of the list is open to a) anyone to applies or b) is invited or c) is from an existing list.
As its a people's community based mailing list - the list owners shall initially give out list "moderator"/"manager"ships to the first 25 suitable persons who apply and to as many as can be accommodated thereafter. In case you wish it, we would be honored if you could spare some time for such "community service".
