Hi Nemo, Cascadia Wikimedians' current discussions with Affcom and WMF Legal are about some wording on the Affiliation Agreement document. We have not discussed becoming a chapter in any great detail, and as you note the WMF Board created a longevity requirement. We have had informal meetings in Cascadia for such a long time that I wonder if the WMF Board would consider a waiver in our case, but so far I think being a user group will be adequate for our needs in the near future.
Hi Asaf, thanks for the info. I have previously heard comments from other affiliates about Affcom taking a long time to make decisions, but until now investigating that has been low on my priority stack.
