Call for Candidates - 2025 Board Elections
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 need a group of dedicated members to lead the decision-making processes, and continue making 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 last date to submit candidacy is 8 March 2025.
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, according to the established requirements. The candidates must hold an undergraduate educational degree. In order to apply, kindly follow the procedural guidelines and submit your candidacy to moderator
dcwwiki.org. The moderators will publish individual candidate pages for the wider community to aid the voting process, which will be securely held on SecurePoll, using the Single transferable voting method. The list of candidates will be available on DCW Board Elections/2025#Candidates.
