Dear all,

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members! If you are interested in joining us, please submit an application by 31 December 2016.

Based on the successful experience of last call, this one will include too a public review and comment period. All applications will be posted on Meta, and all members of the community are invited to provide comments and feedback about each candidate, always keeping a friendly tone.

The full call for candidates, which contains more information on the committee's work, membership criteria, and instructions for how to apply, can be found on Meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/MassMessages/Call_for...

We invite all community members to consider to apply or invite those members that you think could make it cool as AffCom members. We make a special call to women since AffCom is worried to keep or increase its women quota among its members.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or any other member of the committee.

Regards, M
