Project management

All roles report to the Administrative board, who in turn ensure that the joint editorial boards are appraised of key activities. The administrative board will ensure consistent achievement of its mission, and oversight of its programs. This includes strategy development, operations oversight, community management, building external relations and collaborations and administration of the organization.

In the timeframe of July 1 to December 31, 2021, WikiJournal will potentially start the process for creating the administrative infrastructure for having a paid Chief Executive Officer. The infrastructure (including Bylaws modifications, responsibilities and guidelines) and subsequent election of a paid Chief Executive Officer will be approved by voting in the WikiJournal community. The Chief Executive Officer will report to the administrative board of WikiJournal. If this will be completed before a subsequent grant, the payment of a Chief Executive Officer will be shared with the technical editors, so as to amount to a total workload of no more than 1 FTE.
