Hi all,

Thanks Satdeep for the nomination. I am really honored.

But I am very sorry that I cannot accept the nomination, as I am being provided infrastructure support from WMIN, which is essential for me to continue my volunteer on-wiki activities as a community member, and it will be a conflict of interest from my part to continue to get the support as well as become a Advisory committee member.

I am also happy to nominate the name of Satdeep Gill, as he is one of the most active community members in India (both on-wiki and off-wiki) and also the founder member of Punjabi Wikimedia User Group, the first user group from India. He was also mentioned as Wikimedian of the Year in Wikimania Mexico in 2015 by Jimbo Wales. In my opinion, his addition to the committee will improve the communication gap between the community and the chapter.

Best wishes,

Hi all,

I would like to nominate Bodhisattwa Mandal for the Advisory Committee. He has 73784 global edits on Wikimedia projects. I believe he will be in a good position to guide Wikimedia India to work along with the Wikimedia communities in India.

Regards
Satdeep Gill
