trying to understand the process as well as the why here, what I see at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports is that they havent supplied the 2015-16 report they report on the period 1 Jul to 30 Jun (same as WMAU). On September 9 2016 they were asked to furnish this report and given until 1 November to do it.
If this had been Australia our reporting occurs with the our annual general meeting normally in October at which the members endorse or reject the reports(never happened) at the same time the committee is dissolved and elections take place(legal requirement in Australia) This new committee has a number of functions to carry out of the change over including reporting to a number of Government agencies, as well as to the WMF which happened on 7 Nov <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_chapters/Reports/Wikimedia_Australia/2016/Annual_Report&action=history>, Looking at the WMHK reporting the previous period 2014-15 report wasnt posted until 1st December, to place an expectation of compliance by 1 November in September 2016 when the normal reporting time frame is historically longer appears unfair and designed to cause conflict. Recognising some faults in that the 2014-15 report wasnt adequate and needs to be improved, and that its now February 2017 the report still hasnt been furnished. The process of de-registering that has taken place based on the information provided appears flawed. I dont discount that other information not made available makes this a necessary step but perhaps there is room for a period suspension 12-18 months which is what it would take to get another affiliate started anyway would. Observation: When we place trust within the projects and the community it appears that we like to grab the biggest stick possible to whack people with it with at the first opportunity.
