Oh my god!!
A guy that was blocked in many Wikimedia projects due to bad behavior come here to talk about "trust" sounds funny.
One of the reasons I have focused on work with some teachers and serious people to create a new proposal of a user group was just that, keep them away from these fallacies and old discussions regarding the creation of a chapter .
All these problems and deconstructive arguments keeps people away from the Wikimedia movement in Brazil.
With this new proposal and the new group recently approved, I intend to work in another direction, focused more on projects and results than trash talking.
The recognition of AffCom and WMF is only the first step. You surely will receive frequent reports of our activities and results over the next months.
Thanks to all members of the AffCom, Iberocoop and other chapters by the support and knowledge shared during the last year, that culminated with that recognized proposal.
During the next months/years we will try to keep in touch to learn from your experiences and activities.
Best regards to everyone.

How that happened?
This group presented objectives based on Education and Research, but all "actives" showed was not even close to the educational scope.
- Activities:
< https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Brazilian_Group_of_Education_and_R...
:
Wiki Loves Earth, not academic, Campus Party Brasil, not even close to be academic, edit-a-thon outside the academic world... "Book chapter regarding Wikipedia Education Program in Brasil" = work made trough the WMF Catalyst Programme, not a WUG activity = scheming to seem more important than it is...
AffCom recently renewal another WUG group here in Brazil that do not do any activities, and uses chapters tools, and do not give us any criteria used to explain the renewal, you will give the whys here?
And the creator of this group do not even have the trusty from the ones who adopted him when he arrived at the Wikimedia Movement in Brazil:
"I really do not understand what is happening to this group and what's on your minds. Helped sling it and defend it and then I was shooed away without any defined process or transparency" [1] the group that he is talking is the first WUG created here in Brazil, the dorm one mentioned above, that using the WMF Brazil Programme + AffCom closed the WMBR initiative (hooray!). And some of them clearly showed to be oppose to that:[2]
AffCom acts very strange when the topic is Brazil, the WMBR proposal, after years do not received any justification to why they want so bad to avoid [3], they force a creation of a new group to assume the leadership in Brazil, and now are approving another chapter initiative with headers that not even the guys that the AffCom put against WMBR to create the WUG-BR, trust...
