Dear Seddon,
Thank you for your interest in the Brazilian community.
The Affiliations Committee has created a page to discuss the situation in the Brazilian community. You may want to direct questions to them or in general to community members on this page [1].
The User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil is strongly committed to improving community health, striving to engage the Wikimedian communities and keep a safe environment for participation. With that commitment in mind --and even before the official re-recognition-- we have looked for support and have created a code of conduct [2] and a friendly space policy [3], to which all members must abide. We are currently working on a diversity plan with Community Development staff members, that should be ready in less than six months.
We take this space as an opportunity to invite the global community to get to know and engage with the set of activities we run. Since 2013, we have led numerous GLAM partnerships [4], one of the largest education programs in the world [5], many community events focused on advanced Wikidata topics [6] and several other outreach activities and programs.
Thank you all and good contributions.
Chico Venancio, On behalf of User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil

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.
Regards Seddon

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?

What steps is the Brazilian community taking to ensure there isn't a
repeat
of past breakdowns in community cooperation?

Hi!
I would like to correct myself, as since October 2018 there is one
more
Wikimedia affiliate with Portuguese as its official language, our
very
good
friends "Muj(lh)eres latinoamericanas en Wikimedia", who have been
doing
quite a notable work in LATAM:

Wonderful news! Brazil has been for long one of the world leaders in Wikimedia
educational
projects, with an excellent work on GLAMs, often in line with the educational projects, and generally with full Wikidata
integration.
It is very rewarding to see the group recognized again as a
full-right
Wikimedia affiliate. It also happens to be the only other Portuguese speaking
affiliate,
besides Wikimedia Portugal. Still a long way to go for one of the
most
spoken native languages in the globe, but that's a great
improvement.
Best, Paulo
