Dear Adethya, Apologies for sending the previous message prematurely.

Thanks for volunteering for the recruitment committee. Kindly let me know the prospects. Not sure I fully understand your question. You will be involved in scoring the CVs and other details of applicants that make the long list. You will also be responsible for conducting face to face interview with the short list in Bangalore or Delhi.

Your explanation clarifies that what is needed is leadership experience, possibly either with large or small teams, obviously somebody who has enough time to devote during the next month or two for this task, but not for the role being filled. I suggest that instead of leaving the 'sufficient' adjective in place, simply request all volunteers with leadership experience to apply (i.e. to advise their availability), and choose the one with the greatest time spent in such roles.

Exactly. I could not have articulated it better myself. I suggest that instead of leaving the 'sufficient' adjective in place, simply request all volunteers with leadership experience to apply (i.e. to advise their availability), and choose the one with the greatest time spent in such roles. Excellent. However, I will only screen out those with limited experience to create a short list. The final volunteer for the committee will be selected from the short list using IETF's Publicly Verifiable Nominations Committee (NomCom) Random Selection process. So to reiterate for the other members on this list. If you have any leadership experience and have some time to spare in September - do nominate yourselves by sending an email to me. ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
