I am glad to see that the WMF is being rigorous in ensuring that the
donors' money is being spent effectively and accountably by the affiliated
organisations. Of course one does not expect a detailed narrative when the
WMF deems it necessary to take action in this way since named individuals
are necessarily involved.

Hi all,
On behalf of WMHK, I would like to say something.
Some may think it is pity that WMHK has been de-recognized. But the board
of WMHK has actually already decided to disband the chapter.
Although WMHK will cease to exist, I still hope the other chapters will
continue to try their best in the Wikimedia movement.

Thanks Kirill
In my opinion this is reasonable. We need to have criteria for what
affiliation with the movement means and what it requires from those
affiliated. If the requirements are consistently not met than removing
official affiliation until it is is simply common practice.

does not meet basic compliance standards and their continued
recognition as a Wikimedia movement affiliate presents a risk to the
Wikimedia movement.
On September 9, 2016, Wikimedia Hong Kong was notified of their
suspension
as a Wikimedia affiliate due to long standing
non-compliance with
reporting
requirements, and was provided with an explicit
list of tasks and
deadlines
in order to return to compliance with their
chapter agreement. The
chapter
failed to complete these tasks by the deadline of
November 1, 2016, and
