As a volunteer who was never involved in that strife, but who felt and observed it onwiki, I sincerely expect that, above all, AffCom would be more careful and responsible than what they have been in the past when approving overlapping affiliates. Especially when a public outcry against the new proposed affiliate is already there, as was the case of Brazil.
Best, Paulo

Asking as a volunteer with a broad interest in affiliate matters rather than as a staff member:
What steps is the Brazilian community taking to ensure there isn't a repeat of past breakdowns in community cooperation?
Kind regards
Seddon

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.
