Thanks Carlos - that seems a very clear explanation of where we are to me.
Regards,
Chris

Hello Rogol,
Let me try to clarify that. When the AffCom discussed with the board
liaisons whether we needed a new resolution at our July meeting, we agreed
that the existing resolution [1] is already sufficient as we're not
stepping outside of the existing framework. These criteria are a first
attempt to communicate more clearly what the AffCom expects in terms of
"demonstrable programmatic results" in order for an application to be
supported and passed on to the board for approval. Still, the idea is to
have the AffCom work on a coordinated consultation on these criteria and
other aspects of affiliate strategy in the upcoming movement consultations
since at the end, all are related.
So instead of keeping Chapter and ThOrg applications on hold for longer,
and because it's been a long while already, the Board has approved the
Affiliations Committee to accept applications under the potential new
criteria to test them and to remove the block on applications immediately
-and it was about time 8-) Based on this future consultation, the
proposed new criteria will probably be revised and refined to reflect the
feedback received from the community before putting them as "official" for
all Chapters and ThOrgs.
Additionally, and trying to make the discussion clearer: AFAIK the
discussion is an essential part of the movement, but at this time, this is
not a coordinated consultation because again, it will be part of a larger
and coordinated movement consultation. In order that the AffCom can focus
on reopening Chapter and ThOrg applications, everyone is welcome to share
valuable input on the talk pages [2] [3] on Meta, as it will be better
organized and useful for reference when the coordinates consultation starts
in a few months from now. In the meantime, we can answer questions here,
or there, but still, it would be better done on the talk pages for
transparency, clarity and easiness of interaction, since not everyone is on
the Wikimedia-l, Affiliates-l or Chapters-L lists.
Thanks,
M.

The pronouncement of Fri Aug 19 12:36:01 UTC 2016 states "the Board of
Trustees has instructed the Affiliations Committee to provisionally use
these three new criteria for all new applicants" and as a consequence the
Board Chair has stated, on Tue Aug 23 06:46:47 UTC 2016, "This is not a
discussion". In the interests of transparency, please could the Community
be informed of the text of the Board Resolution that laid down these
criteria?
The Board chair has also informed us (on Tue Aug 23 12:34:37 UTC 2016) that
*"*Everything is a discussion" and "our main goal for this year is to
make
sure we finally have a comprehensive movement strategy". This is of course
excellent news, especially since dialogue between the Board and the
Community on these issues has been conspicuous by its absence
[

Exactly how and where will this engagement take place?
Perhapshttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Strategy_Alpha might be a
place to plan the mechanisms for that engagement?
