The Deoband Community Wikimedia (DCW) was established on 31 July 2021, and convened as a Wikimedia Foundation affiliate on 16 January 2022. Over the years, DCW has significantly contributed to the open knowledge ecosystem and gained a significant representation at several Wikimedia spaces. However, as we continue growing, we ask our community members to come forward and lead the decision-making processes, and make a difference!

We are excited to publish our first call for appointing four community members (two males & two females) to the DCW Board, which has been idealised in our October 2024 - March 2025 activity plan. The call will remain open until 8 March 2025, and elections will be conducted from 11 to 23 March 2025, through a Secure Poll on our website.

Broadly, candidates running for the DCW Board must have a fair understanding of the Wikimedia ecosystem, and our vision statement, and be not blocked on any Wikimedia projects. The candidates must hold an undergraduate educational degree. In order to apply, kindly follow the procedural guidelines.
