Dear all,
It is an honour for me to announce that during Wikimania, the WMF resolved [1] to recognise Wikimedia Belgium as a Wikimedia chapter. The resolution was made public a few days ago.
The first discussions towards the establishment of a Belgian chapter started many years ago, with the local community doing projects related to freedom of knowledge since then, like organisation of WLM Belgium & Luxembourg in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Along with these and other activities, the idea of a chapter grew and evolved to the moment when, the decision was taken to start officially the chapter creation process.
This process took longer than usual, due to many reasons, among those the change in the chapter approval process by the WMF Board last year. Nevertheless, after months of intensive discussion and interaction between all parties involved, a recommendation from the AffCom was sent to the WMF regarding Wikimedia Belgium. And here we are :-)
Please welcome the newest member of the family of Wikimedia affiliates!
Regards, Carlos

Hi Romaine! When you say "founding", are you referring only to the process of registering with a government body or do you mean something more? I looked at the Founding page on be.wikimedia.org and didn't see an answer to this question.
Congratulations Belgium. Douze points.
On behalf of the Board of Wikimedia Nederland, best wishes! We're looking forward to cooperation and collaboration in the future. Wikimedia Nederland is prepared to support Wikimedia Belgium in the founding process and thereafter. However, you're out on your own to gather the required number of people in one place to sign the founding papers.
