look at this:

all we need is a very simple couple of documents complying with this. I see 
that for an all india character one needs 8 people from 8 different states. I 
also see that the registration fee is 50 rupees. So give him a draft in plain 
language of the points we want. Scientific society/promotion of python/ conduct 
of annual pycon - that is enough. Power to operate bank accounts. Who is to 
operate them. Yearly elections. No office bearer except treasurer to hold office 
for more than two terms. apart from this, any statutory requirements. Thats 
all. Keep it simple. If he takes trouble over crafting this carefully, he is 
worth 5K else he is not worth 2 paise.
