Welcome to the WikiProject Biography Coordination Council. Any good project needs leadership, and this is a place for people interested in providing that leadership.

The project coordinators are generally responsible for coordinating work in a specific department or work group of the project, and serve as the points-of-contact for procedural issues. They are not, however, endowed with any special executive powers.

Coordinators are not elected or appointed. Rather, any editor may sign up to help coordinate a particular department or work group. If you would like to take on a leadership role, go ahead and sign up where you are interested. If there is someone else helping to coordinate a department or work group, understand that it is perfectly OK for multiple coordinators to work with each other. Be sure, though, to get in touch with the other coordinators. To sign up, just add you name to the coordinator list at the bottom of the page.

[edit] Responsibilities

The primary responsibility of the coordinators is the maintenance and housekeeping work involved in keeping the project and its internal processes running smoothly; this includes a variety of tasks, such as keeping the announcement and open task lists updated, overseeing the assessment and review processes, managing the proposal and creation of task forces, and so forth. There is little involved that couldn't theoretically be done by any other editor, but, since experience suggests that people tend to assume that someone else is doing whatever needs to be done, it is useful to formally delegate responsibility for this administrative work to a specified group of volunteers.

Other responsibilities include:

• Updating the to do box with information relevant to your department or work group.
• Adding information relevant to your department or work group to the newsletter.
• Conceiving and carrying out new projects, drives, etc. for your department or work group.
