I echo the request Affcom publish this decision and others in a more transparent and expedient manner. Ideally that would include a brief justification for the decisions as well, the movement should be informed about the dealings of the Affiliations Committee.

I second, and strongly support Pine's suggestion.
Being the Affiliations Committee a community-run Wikimedia committee emanating from the Wikimedia Movement itself, transparency is to be expected whenever it is possible. As far as I know, there is nothing confidential in that resolution.
Obscurity is the mother of all rumors, and we're dearly suffering from that.
All the best,
Paulo

Hello Gonçalo,
Thank you for this report.
I would like to ask the Affiliations Committee to post the July 2018 resolution regarding Wikimedia Portugal to this mailing list and to
publish
that resolution on Meta.
I am an advocate for transparency about financial and governance matters, which includes the activities of the Affiliations Committee. I request
that
going forward, all similar resolutions from the Affiliations Committee should be sent to Wikimedia-l and published on Meta within one week of their approval by AffCom.
Thank you,
Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine )

Dear all,
As part of the roadmap AffCom agreed with us after they decided to
suspend
some of our benefits within the Wikimedia Foundation programs (
2018-July/002625.html
<
2018-July/002625.html
),
Wikimedia Portugal held an Extraordinary General Assembly on the 1st of September, and a board was elected. This board is identical, with one exception, to the board elected in April of this year and that I
announced
in a similar message ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-
April/090073.html
).
The board is now composed of:
Gonçalo Themudo, president
André Barbosa, treasurer
Ana Cravo, secretary
We also elected members for the other governing bodies of the chapter:
General Assembly
Paulo Santos Perneta, president
Carlos Barradas, secretary
João Carvalho, member
Fiscal Council
Waldir Pimenta, president
Manuel de Sousa, secretary
João Lemos, member
The general assembly also approved the financial statement of our
annual
report, which is published at https://pt.wikimedia.org/wiki/Relat%C3%B3rios/Anual/2017. An English translation is provided at https://pt.wikimedia.org/wiki/Relat%C3%B3rios/Anual/2017/en.
The minutes of the meeting are available at https://pt.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reuni%C3%B5es/XI_Assembleia-Geral (in Portuguese only).
We are currently working on the final step of the roadmap, which is a
plan
for active contributor involvement and improved chapter capacity. The
first
part is to gather signatures of at least 20 chapter members who are
active
contributors to Wikimedia projects, which is currently underway at
https://pt.wikimedia.org/wiki/Utilizador:GoEThe/P%C3%A1gina_
de_apoio_%C3%A0_Wikimedia_Portugal
. We will keep you informed of the second part, once we have developed
it.
Best regards,
Gonçalo _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
