Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] What will I achieve as Programme Director A2K

[Nee Davis]

Hi Sankarshan,

Thanks for engaging and the revert.

Re. 1: The assignment specifically required that I specify what I would
achieve in the first two months. So tried to specify it where ever
possible. But should you have any specific questions or suggestions on
this, would be happy to listen.

Re. 2: You are very right that there needs to be a measurement of success.
And I think this has been clearly outlined in the A2K Programme Plan. What
I have done was break it down to what ought to be achieved in Year 1 and
based on that designed some key interventions. So the 5x5 WCLs and the
Training programme (listed as Outputs) are more precisely tools to meet the
outcomes of the A2K programme. Thus it is equally important to get the
right bunch of WCL and also have the right Training imparted to them, which
if implemented as planned should achieve the desired results.

Anymore feedback is welcome.

Look forward.

The page for the Club at Pune. Your FAQ entry on what the club is
about provides two links - one is a closed group and the other has
sparse population.

The Facebook page for the club is a closed group and, the wikipedia
page has sparse information. You may want to elucidate a bit more in
the FAQ itself.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Pen names of the Finalists for the online assignment for the position of Programme Director

[Jadine Lannon]

Hello community!

Unfortunately, candidate F-75 has withdrawn their application for the 
position of Programme Director. As soon as this issue has been 
thoroughly discussed by the recruitment committee, I will post an update 
on the mailing list.


However, even though candidate "Nee Davis" is currently our only 
applicant for the position, we still request that the wikimedia 
community continue to pose questions to Nee Davis' essay until the two 
week question period has ended.


Thank you for your patience,

Jadine

[Pradeep Mohandas]

hi,

So, the time line was  "These assignments should be posted no later than 22:00 
IST on Thursday 
(the 20th) night." per an email by Jadine Lannon earlier.[1]  It seems f-75 
(Pen name) has not written in yet. What happens to that finalist?

warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas

Thank you for writing this up. I've two specific bits of discussion
around your email and so have snipped it in a form that keeps it as
relevant as possible.

I would request a clarification and, extend a suggestion. The first is
- how did the time-line of 60 days come about ? The rationale behind
this question is - does 60 days provide adequate time to dial-back,
correct and move forward ?

The second is around the need to have some form of measurement of
"success". For each of the areas, it is probably useful to have
transparent and public measure of success. A trivial question - would
the ability to on-board 5x5 WCLs be a success or, the preparation of a
sustainable training program material be a success and so forth.
