I didn't mean for any intended accusation in my initial question, and to
clarify I do not sit on AffCom along I have a long standing interest in
affiliates.
After the issues with the two previous affiliates in Brazil, it was the
Brazilian community themselves who could take the situation into their own
hands and move forward and I was genuinely interested how the community
plans to do that and avoid repeats of the past.

Perhaps we could assume that your colleagues on the Affiliations Committee
are well aware of the past history and have taken it into consideration
privately, which is exactly how such issues sould be considered, rather
than on a public mailing list. Unless you have evidence to the cotrary?
