[Wikimedia-l] Chapter De-Recognition: Wikimedia Macau

[Kirill Lokshin]

Hi 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. While most affiliates adhere to the basic compliance standards set
forth in their agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation, a protocol has
been developed to address the exceptional cases when a Wikimedia movement
affiliate does not meet basic compliance standards and their continued
recognition as a Wikimedia movement affiliate presents a risk to the
Wikimedia movement.

On February 13, 2017, Wikimedia Macau was notified that they would no
longer be recognized as a Wikimedia chapter after the termination of their
Chapter Agreement on August 1, 2017.  This de-recognition is a result of
long-standing non-compliance with reporting requirements, dating back to
the initial recognition of the chapter in 2011.

If you have questions about what this means for the community members in
Wikimedia Macau’s geographic area or language scope, we have put together a
very basic FAQ, which may be found at

.

Kirill Lokshin
