Thank you very much for bringing this to the attention of the broader community, Osmar. I will note that the gist of this statement was recently discussed by the Roles & Responsibilities Strategy Working Group[1] and we noted that it reflects and expands upon several points we had found during our research. We will take these points into consideration as we develop our recommendations.

Hello friends,

I would like to share with you the declaration made by most of the participants in the last Iberoconf meeting in Santiago, hosted by Wikimedia Chile between February 8-10th. The meeting had representatives of 13 affiliates from Ibero America and Italy, plus Wikimedia Foundation staff members, two members of the BoT of the WMF and other guests.

The "Declaration of Santiago" (in Spanish: Carta de Santiago) is a statement made by Iberocoop members regarding to rights and responsabilities between different affiliates (chapters and user groups) and the current rules regarding their formation. The statement is the result of the discussion after long formal and informal discussions between us.
