Please join me in welcoming this new group into the fold of Wikimedia
entities, and let's celebrate their success and hard work as Wikipedia

, user
groups are to be recognized in a quick and easy process directly
by
the Affiliations Committee, for a fixed,
renewable time-period and they
are
to enjoy limited trademark use and simplified
access to grants.
Best regards,
Bence Damokos
Chair, Affiliatons Committee
