I came across a word 'Info Activist' in one of the Newspaper!

Would you define activist as:

Those who regularly seek information from Public Offices for larger public good or would you define them as those who help others in framing and using RTI. Personally, I think it is a mix of both.

But is there a proportion and degrees?

or is there some other definition to add?

Is the term limited to only organized Activist like an NGO, Samiti, organization?

I am opening the poll for the same. Kindly vote to let us all know.

I would like to call him "Social Auditor" and the Act as " An Instrument of Social Audit" as its sub-title._SANJOG MAHESHWARI

I would call an RTI activitist as a strong support to democracy, good governance and a watchdog for the resources of India, aid to bring down corruption and in general to make a place for better living.

he should be a person who is helpful in providing needed help or direction in the time where a information is needed by a person(known/unknown).

Dear All
Though I have voted for "Info Activist", I do not subscribe to its being the precise terminology. I would prefer some expression which conveys more in "spirit" the ideals of the RTI- like Transparency,Legitimacy and ultimately the citizens' Right to reach the Truth and particiapte in effective Governance - though from outside. SO MY PREFERRED

EXPRESSION WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE "RTI CRUSADER" "RTI CHAMPION" ETC ETC.
