I hope you don't think this is too off-topic, but Wiki Project Med is applying to become a Thematic Organisation, the subject-specific equivalent of a Chapter, but based on a thematic area, rather than a geographic one. WPMEDF has been in existence for 6 years, and has cooperated with WMUK since it started. It became a User Group in 2014 and is now seeking the achieve the next step as a recognised Thematic Organisation for medicine globally throughout the Wikimedia movement. If you would support the idea, then perhaps you would be kind enough to indicate that at the bottom of https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Project_Med/Application which contains the full details of our application to AffCom. Thank you in advance for any support.
