Hi Maor/Kirill/AffCom,
Which organisations are we talking about here? From the crosses on the reports page on Meta, it looks like it is: - Wikimedia Chile - Wikimedia Hong Kong - Wikimedia India - Wikimedia Macedonia - Wikimedia Macau - Wikimedia Mexico - Wikimedia Philippines - Wikimedia Uruguay - New England Wikimedians - PhilWiki Community - Wikimedia Community User Group Pakistan - Wikimedia Digitization User Group - Wikimedians of Iceland User Group - Wikimedians of Nepal - Wikimedians of Uzbekistan Community
Is it all of those or a subset of them? Some of these seem to be active and/or have representatives going to the Wikimedia Conference.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Nathan,
To expand a bit on Maor's reply: the Affiliations Committee and the Wikimedia Foundation continue to view affiliate de-recognition as a last resort for cases where an affiliate is not only in violation of affiliate requirements or agreements with the WMF, but is also unwilling or unable to fix the problem when asked to do so.
The underlying issue that causes an affiliate to be "non-compliant" will usually be publicly visible (such as a lack of required reporting, for example). The affiliate's inability or unwillingness to address it will usually not be, as it's reflected in the affiliate's communications with AffCom and the WMF (or lack thereof).
Regards, Kirill Lokshin Vice-Chair, Affiliations Committee

Hoi, I fail to see who you are targeting and on what basis. My impression is that it only has to do with money.. I understand this. For other parts
like
the language committee there are no reports except for the activity on
its
mailing list. I fail to see why it has to report to anyone. It is not the task the committee seeks and it does its activity on behalf of the Wikimedia board. Thanks, GerardM
You misread - evidently both the original message and my reply. I answer your question in my prior post, and hopefully subsequent posts by others have cleared up any other confusion.
Maor - thank you for your explanation. Would it be fair to say that the criteria for considering denying renewal are informal, and that some factors (including communication with AffCom) may not be publicly available for review? _______________________________________________ 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
