Hi James,
I'd like to agree with you, but in practice because WMF controls both the
trademark agreements and affiliate agreements, in practice WMF has wide
latitude in determining who other than them an claim to "represent
Wikipedia". There are some good things about this (e.g. we don't want

Hello Gerard,
I didn't say that a chapter represent a project or the Foundation. I
said it is perceived as a representative of the movement.
For example, if the EU asks for opinion of the revision of the copy

Hoi,
The Dutch chapter is well respected and it is why I can use it as an
example. The Dutch chapter does not represent Wikipedia or any of the other
projects. It cannot do this because the Wikimedia Foundation has this
exclusive right.
So when a chapter is said to represent the Wikimedia movement

Hi Mike,
It's certainly not all -- or even most -- of them; as we've mentioned, this
affects affiliates that are both non-compliant *and* unwilling or unable to
return to compliance. We are, I think, quite forgiving of occasional
compliance issues, such as late reports, so long as an affiliate is

Hi Nathan,
To expand a bit on Maor's reply: the Affiliations Committee and the
Wikimedia Foundation continue to view affiliate de-recognition as a last
resort for cases where an affiliate is not only in violation of affiliate
requirements or agreements with the WMF, but is also unwilling or unable

Hi Nathan,
The AffCom and the WMF have been in touch for many months with groups
that are not-compliant in different areas, especially their activities
[or lack of them]. So, a group that has been inactive for a long period
of time has been contacted in regards to this. Some of these groups ha
Hello Gerard,
the chapters and thematic organizations are entrusted with certain
functions and authorities. For example a chapter enjoys regional (or
country wide) exclusivity in their operating region. They are perceived
in the public as if they are official representatives of our movement in

It is in this same list.

Hi Gerard,
I don't believe that the Language Committee is an affiliated organization -
so I'm not sure why affiliate requirements would apply. Or did I miss
something there?

Hoi,
I fail to see who you are targeting and on what basis. My impression is
that it only has to do with money.. I understand this. For other parts like
the language committee there are no reports except for the activity on its
mailing list. I fail to see why it has to report to anyone. It is not t
It looks like there are many chapters and orgs at risk of being denied a
renewal. I'm curious about how you decided who to label non-compliant and
who you did not.
I notice that WM Armenia appears to have had no reports or activity (other
than 2015 wrap up information) in 2016. Are they considered

Dear all,
Recognition as a Wikimedia affiliate - a chapter, thematic organization,
or user group - is a privilege that allows an independent group to
officially use the Wikimedia name to further the Wikimedia mission.
While most Wikimedia affiliates adhere to the basic compliance standards
