This will help CIS-A2K understand the language community more closely and work in accordance with needs of the community. Thus avoiding duplication of resources and bringing focus to the activities organised. The PAs will be directly managed and be held accountable by members of each language community who will assign any work they want to be done.

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] CIS-A2K 2.0 and new Programme Associates
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
It gives me immense pleasure to announce that CIS-A2K
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K> is implementing its new model of
working - CIS-A2K version 2.0. This model takes on board many of the
criticisms that have been made of our work so far.
We will be eliminating the role of Program Director in this version, and I
(from July, 2015) am the person at the Centre for Internet and Society in
charge of programming under the WMF grant. Nirmita Narasimhan (from this
month onwards), Policy Director will be assisting me. This will result in a
reduction of the budget.
As part of this version 2.0, CIS-A2K would try to engage communities
towards an in depth analysis of community engagement, and take A2K
programme closer to the community by contracting Program Associates (PA).
Each of the five focus language areas(FLAs): Kannada, Konkani, Marathi,
Odia and Telugu will have one PA each working from the city or town where
most of the community members operate. This will help CIS-A2K understand
the language community more closely and work in accordance with needs of
the community. Thus avoiding duplication of resources and bringing focus to
the activities organised. The PAs will be directly managed and be held
accountable by members of each language community who will assign any work
they want to be done. CIS-A2K team will provide an additional layer of
supervision and oversight. This will reduce need for CIS staffers to travel
from Bengaluru for every event/activity.
In addition, the existing employees at CIS-A2K would now be working for all
the five FLAs in a more specialized role as follows:
Pavanja <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pavanaja> : Would be
responsible for creating movement resources such as handbook, tutorial
videos, etc, and shall plan for creation, printing and distribution.
Rahmanuddin
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:%E0%B0%B0%E0%B0%B9%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%AE%E…>
: Would operate as technical liaison person.
Subhashish <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Psubhashish> : Will help
Wikipedians create blogs on Wikimedia blog and report all events happening
around, along with media publication and coverage of events organised by
the communities and A2K team.
Tanveer <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Lahariyaniyathi> : Would be
responsible for all insitutional partnerships and content donation
activities. Communities are encouraged to get in touch with Tanveer if they
want any specific institution to be explored for Wikipedia activities.
This will enable the above core A2K team members to have multiple touch
points with the FLA Wikimedia communities. Unlike the previous model where
a single Programme Officer was solely responsible for activities for a FLA.
Abhinav
<https://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF…>
and Tito Dutta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Titodutta> would be
Program Associates and will be working on Marathi Workplan and policy level
discussions respectively.
We have ensured that the PA selection process is done by community
consensus.
Announcements were sent out on the FLA Wikipedia village pumps in the 2nd
and 3rd week of August.
A community nomination was expected to set the process rolling, but with
multiple people applying, A2K team asked the applicants to translate some
of the important movement resources documents (These were handbooks
regarding Editing Wikipedia
<https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/Editing_Wikipedia_broch…>,
Illustrating Wikipedia
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Illustrating_Wikipedia_brochure.pdf>,
GLAM handbook
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WMUK_GLAM_booklet_2014.pdf>, Free
licenses handbook
<https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Introduction_to_free_licenses_2010…>and
so on) to assess the applicants understanding of Wikimedia projects.
The translations sent by the participants were put up for community members
to review (these were uploaded by candidates on commons.wikimedia.org). The
reviews did not offer any decisive inputs regarding finalising PA position.
It was also felt based on visit and conversations with Telugu Wikipedia
community members, that a selection committee should be constituted for
selecting PA for each language.
