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

Greetings,
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Since 2023, preceding the WikiConference India 2023, we've been hosting
regular calls. Initially, these were WCI pre-conference calls, which later
evolved into post-WCI calls, and over time, these calls have aimed to unite
the South Asian community monthly for updates and discussions as the South
Asian Open Community Calls
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/South_Asia_Open_Community_Call>, are
hosted every month.
In an ongoing effort to tailor these calls to better suit the community's
needs, we've made various adjustments to the agenda, topics, moderators,
and more. With over 17 editions; it's the right time to gather feedback and
make changes for increased participation and belonging in the calls.
Hence, we will be taking the month of April for feedback/review. In which
we're launching a quick survey (5-7 minutes) to hear from you. Your
feedback, preferences, and suggestions will help shape future editions of
the call and ensure it remains a valuable forum for South Asian Communities.
Please take a moment to participate in the survey and forward the same to
as many community members as possible:

*PS: We will not be hosting an edition of the South Asia Open Community
Call in April, and the next one will be on the 19th of May, 2024 where we
are already working on a special agenda. *
Thank you for your continued support and engagement!
Regards,
Nitesh and Nivas
