This is a long video, as we go through the important parts of the Auroville Foundation Act 1988.
(I added chapters so that it is easier to watch the video in different sessions if needed, and to quickly find back the portions dealing with specific topics.)
To understand the present situation, it is really crucial to know what the Act itself says. Just trusting that someone else will correctly inform you of its content or meaning is not good enough these days, you will have to read the text for yourself to make sure you see with your own eyes what is actually in it and what is not.
All the court cases are also based on this Act, and because the present Secretary and last Governing Board have been implementing this Act as it is written and meant, the cases are obviously doomed and lost.
Without first-hand knowledge of what is actually written in the Act, and believing the nonsense that is said about it, nobody can make sense of the verdicts, as they are clearly contradictory to what is being claimed, while in reality the Act describes exactly what is happening here in the past years.
This video wants to be a help to read the act, which is not really difficult to understand once one gets the hang of the wording. You will see that it is quite straightforward, and that so many of the false claims are made so boldly exactly because the persons making the claims know that almost nobody has read it, and that most people are therefore dependent on simply believing what they're being told.
That won't do anymore in this day and age. Buckle up, sit down and start exploring! You'll be amazed how easy it becomes once you understand the main elements.

20:20 Section 18: the Residents' Assembly and the Register of Residents
23:26 Section 19: Functions of the Residents' Assembly (no powers!)
24:37 Point 19.2.a: the most misquoted and misrepresented line of the whole Auroville Foundation Act: who exactly decides who is included in the Register of Residents?
25:38 Section 32: crucial for the correct understanding of point 19.2.a: the power to make regulations

46:33 Conclusion
46:47 The Governing Board is not accountable to the Residents' Assembly
47:19 The Residents' Assembly is not involved in the Governing Board's decisions and management of Auroville
47:51 The Auroville Foundation Act exists only because the same rebel faction begged the Central Government to step in and take control of Auroville
