Hi Nathan,
There is a shortish overview at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Reports/2012#State_of... .
In general, we very rarely reject applications outright publicly -- more often than not, an application will run until we have worked with the group to the point that they meet the requirements for approval, or they realise that they do not want to pursue approval. You can follow all the groups that are seeking approval in our Meta garden at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters#Chapters_in_discussion_ph..., https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_thematic_organizations#Planned_the... and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_user_groups#Planned_user_groups. (Cannot guarantee that all groups have listed themselves there, but it is a wiki, so anyone can add the missing ones.)
On the same pages you will find all the approved ones with links to the relevant resolutions that give some explanations to the reasons (although they are quite general, as they all assert the belief of AffCom that the affiliate in question meets the requirements for recognition).
Best regards, Bence

Does AffCom report on the status or disposition of applications for affiliation? Is there a grid of pending applications, prior applications and outcomes (with explanations, if negative)? That would be a handy way of increasing transparency for this process for both participants and community observers. I looked for one in the AffCom meta garden but couldn't find anything quite like that.
