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?
