Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Volunteer for CIS's A2K programme director
recruitment committee
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Cc: wikimedia-in-exec(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Dear Wikimedians,
I would like to request members of the Indian Wikipedia community to
nominate themselves to serve on the CIS's A2K Programme Director
recruitment committee. This programme will hopefully receive large
grant from Wikimedia Foundation and we would greatly benefit from
community input during the hiring process of the new Programme
Director.
The volunteer must be experienced Wikipedian, based in India [ as we
cannot afford international travel for the interviews] and must have
sufficient managerial experience [including experience with conducting
interviews]. The volunteer should be able to spare time in September
to review applications remotely and also conduct face-to-face
interviews for 2 days either in Bangalore or Delhi.
Those who fit the description are requested to nominate yourself by
sending me an email with a profile and relevant URLs before COB 25th
August 2012.
I will publish a long list on cis-india.org on 29th August, after
removing those nominations that don't have the required
qualifications. The volunteer to serve on the recruitment committee
will be selected from the long list by using IETF's Publicly
Verifiable Nominations Committee (NomCom) Random Selection[1].
The other members of this recruitment committee will consist of
1. One of the existing independent consultants [Hisham, Nitika,
Noopur, Shiju or Subha]
2. One member from the Wikipedia Chapter (Wikimedia India Program
Trust) community. To be nominated by the Chapter Executive Committee.
3. Executive Director of CIS - me.
The recruitment committee will be responsible for screening the long
list of eligible applications and conducting one-on-one face-to-face
interviews with the short list of applicants.
Best wishes,
Sunil

Hello,
Currently tat CIS-A2K, we are working on a handbook called "Indic Wikipedia
Policies and Guidelines Handbook" where we are discussing a number of
things such as: Creating new policies, Modifying existing ones; and to
explain these we had to discuss Village Pump, Consensus etc. The book is in
English, but we hope to translate and print the book in a few Indian
languages.
Now,
a) We are eager to add your frequently asked questions on policies and
guidelines, and discuss the difficulties you are facing to manage, enforce
or deal with any policy on your Wikipedia.
For this reason, we are inviting you to ask questions or discuss things
related to your Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
Selected questions or discussions will be published in our handbook and
askers/participants will be given credits in the book.
and/or
b) We are also inviting you to preview the handbook and give your feedback
to improve it.
Please fill this form and let us know if you want to join this survey:
