Wiki Project Med/Board/Roles

About

This page is intended to help the Wiki Project Med Board in defining the roles of its members, as decided at the Board meeting on 11 June 2017. It currently consists of three parts:

1. In #Essential roles, we review the roles required by the Bylaws and consider whether any additional roles might be essential for the work of the organization;
2. In #Other considerations for Board composition, we look at the composition of the Board as a whole;
3. In #Current members, the current members of the Board describe their past and present activities at the interface between Wikimedia and Medicine and provide thoughts on how such activities might be reflected in terms of roles within the Board or Board composition in the future.

Anything below that needs discussion should be brought up at the Talk page.

   • Past and present: I have been working in Odia Wikimedia for about last 5 years, more in Wikipedia. I am the only one person from India who has translated about 9 hundred articles.
