Dear Seddon,
Thank you for your interest in the Brazilian community.
The Affiliations Committee has created a page to discuss the situation in
the Brazilian community. You may want to direct questions to them or in
general to community members on this page [1].
The User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil is strongly committed to improving
community health, striving to engage the Wikimedian communities and keep a
safe environment for participation. With that commitment in mind --and even
before the official re-recognition-- we have looked for support and have
created a code of conduct [2] and a friendly space policy [3], to which all
members must abide. We are currently working on a diversity plan with
Community Development staff members, that should be ready in less than six
months.
We take this space as an opportunity to invite the global community to get
to know and engage with the set of activities we run. Since 2013, we have
led numerous GLAM partnerships [4], one of the largest education programs
in the world [5], many community events focused on advanced Wikidata topics
[6] and several other outreach activities and programs.
Thank you all and good contributions.
Chico Venancio,
On behalf of User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil

I didn't mean for any intended accusation in my initial question, and to
clarify I do not sit on AffCom along I have a long standing interest in
affiliates.
After the issues with the two previous affiliates in Brazil, it was the
Brazilian community themselves who could take the situation into their own
hands and move forward and I was genuinely interested how the community
plans to do that and avoid repeats of the past.
Regards
Seddon
