DCW Board Elections
DCW Board Elections are held every three years to appoint four members to the DCW Board, which consists of five voting members and three non-voting advisory members. Aafi, the founder of the Deoband Community Wikimedia holds a permanent seat on the board, while the non-voting advisory members are appointed from Wiki Clubs operating under the DCW umbrella. Through this election process, four community members (two male and two female) are elected to serve a three-year term on the DCW Board.
