Does the Affiliations Committee have a list of existing chapters which do not meet the proposed criteria? I think we should at least get a sense

Hi Ben,
The closest is this table for eligibility for the Wikimedia Conference: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_ 2016/Eligibility_Criteria
That did not apply the same criteria as AffCom are using, but you can see that there were 2 chapters which appeared to be entirely inactive, and a further 3 that had some kind of activity but were not reporting activity in the terms required by their chapter agreements or grants.
In general, I think that it is sensible to have a method of inactive chapters to be de-recognised - just as it is also useful for User Groups working towards chapter status to know what they are meant to be working towards.
As of this year, a process does exist, and is reflected here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliates/Protocol_for_n...
(perhaps a link to this should be added to the AffCom nav-box.)
This process is being followed, right now, to review the status of inactive and non-compliant chapters, at long last.
