Hi Laura,
The Brasilian community has a long history with many twists. At one time there was a proposed chapter that the Board has recognized but was never founded; and the Affiliations Committee has recommended the user group route for the community in their current aspiration to form a chapter. I am really glad that the community has accepted the recognition and opened the way for a real Brasilian chapter to be founded in the near-future.
Best regards, Bence

Did aff-comm initially recommend to the Wikimedia Foundation board that Wikimedia Brazil be approved as a chapter? Or did aff-comm talk them into becoming a usergroup before any approval?
