•  Support Movement Charter related discussions are important in the Malayalam community to advance towards our strategic direction. -Netha Hussain (talk) 07:40, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Strong support -- Brahmavadini (talk) 10:42, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- Considering the high cost, particularly the inclusion of flights, this program doesn't seem as cost-effective as the similar program we funded in 2022. That program included translation, and the tasks could likely be achieved through online meetings, eliminating the need for travel expenses.Irshadpp (talk) 06:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
