"Further, the specific individuals who served as the primary contacts for these user groups will be prohibited from serving as primary contacts for any user group application or existing user group for a period of one year."
And grant requests? I am not privy to the conflict details, but it seems to be generated by the claim of lack of legitimacy and misuse of money, is that correct? So should not also individual grant requests for this primary contacts be blocked? Agreeing with Ilario, but would be nice to see the "whys" they came to this. Without this deep look, the "Brazil, restart again" will act over and over again - this is not the first time, and will not be the last, until some stakeholders stop relieving themselves of responsibility, admit the mistakes and take a stand to fix the problem, some of it, could be created not by locals... Finished this analyses and actions made Mardetanha proposal will be a consequence, writing now as it is now, I do not see how could be beneficial. x0x0 On 9 April 2018 at 03:54, Ilario Valdelli <valde...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Kirill > It makes sense to explain a little bit about the conflict management and > the position of both sides to define why both groups have been > derecognized. > > At the opposite this decision will give the feeling that, to attack a local > Group, it will be sufficient to create another local Group and to be > recognized and to open a conflict and to drive all parties to unresolute it > to reach the primary and original goal. > > Kind regards > > On Sun, 8 Apr 2018, 20:20 Kirill Lokshin, <kirill.loks...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hello everyone, > > > > Recognition as a Wikimedia movement affiliate — a chapter, thematic > > organization, or user group — is a privilege that allows an independent > > group to officially use the Wikimedia trademarks to further the Wikimedia > > mission.
