Here is the Standard Operating Procedure of the INCOTM (Collaboration of the Month for WikiProject India on English Wikipedia) as requested.
Name of post: INCOTM Volunteer Coordinator. Type of post: Wikipedia editor volunteer. Duties: To run the collaborations of the month concerning WikiProject India.
Standard Operating Procedure: 1. The relevant pages are : * [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Collaborations_of_the_month]] * [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Collaborations_of_the_month/Procedure]] (this page) * [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Collaborations_of_the_month/Nominations]] * [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Collaborations_of_the_month/History]]
2. Communication about INCOTM is primarily done at : * [[Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics]] (also known as India Notice board). * [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-en Wikimedia-in-en] (Mailing list for Wikimedians working on India related content on English Wikipedia & related projects).
3. As per present policy, two articles are selected for development each month - one is a generic Collaboration of the Month chosen for overall improvement through joint efforts. The other is chosen for the specific purpose of converting to GA or FA. The GA/FA article remains COTM till achieved or abandoned by community consensus.
4. In the last week of the month, work begins to compile a short report which examines and reports on the collaboration as a whole and the improvements done to the articles. The report should be published as soon as possible after the last day of the month. Based on contributions, barnstars are given to the principal contributors or those who make important contributions such as creating a diagram, etc. After the report, the names of the last month's INCOTM and details of improvement are added to the History page.
5. By the middle of the month, suggestions should be sought from the rest of the community for next month's INCOTM candidates. These suggestions should be given on the Nominations page. We ask people for suggestions both on the Wikimedia-in-en list and India Notice board. After a few days, notice about the suggestions received should be put up on India Notice Board and list informed about it and asking people to suggest and/or vote. Voting should begin immediately and end 48 to 72 hours later (at your discretion). You may like to remind or prompt people to participate in the process. After the voting is over, results are to be announced.
6. The old unsuccessful candidates are removed from the nomination so that fresh nominations can be sought. but there is no hard & fast rule. You can choose to retain any as per your discretion for another chance at its being selected as INCOTM.
7. Though INCOTM has a talk page, it should be for specific queries related to the process while all information, reports & other discussions carried out on India Notice Board only.
Regards,
Ashwin
