Hello Carlos,
Thanks by all information regarding the new Affcom's decisions for an user group renewal.
Only to clarify, my question was based on the Wikimedia User Group Agreement where is specified that an User Group and its agents must submit a written activity report in English to the community each year.
More specifically, on the item 3.Your Obligations.
"You and your User Group must: d.submit, as instructed by WMF, an annual written activity report in English to the Wikimedia community and WMF;"
This obligation changed too?
My point is not to cause any trouble, I'm asking it here only because we, the members and people that endorsed the Wikimedia Community User Group Brasil did not receive any information regarding the renewal application or any report was published on pt.wikipedia or br.wikimedia.org.
Best regards
Rodrigo Padula

Dear Rodrigo,
The requirements for WUGs are very simple and the Affiliation Committee has been working recently on making the process of renewing the recognition of WUGs as straighforward as possible, since it is something relatively new and we have seen there is plenty of room for improvement..
This means that in the event a WUG is complying with the basic recognition requirements, is not transgreding basic rules of conduct against other wikimedians and there are actively committed Wikimedians behind it working to advance the mission of our movement, the Affiliations Committee will continue recognizing it as a movement affiliate and would encourage other volunteers to either join it, create another one, or simply work as an individual, which is perfectly valid.
For the AffCom, the simple will expressed from the contact persons from a specific WUG regarding their interest in renovating the recognition is considered enough proof of activity, along with some details provided in the communication. There is no need for a report of activities with a raised seal and stuff :-).
I hope this clarifies any doubt you have about the recognition of the WCUG Brasil.
Thank you, Carlos
