I completely agree with Lodewijk here: Publishing such warnings could very
well in effect kill off the affiliate, and make the warning moot.
This was, however, very much what the AffCom has done to Wikimedia
Portugal. In 18 May the AffCom has sent a message to the WMPT general

Hi Ellie,

is happening and that the funding for this event is secured? Wikimania does
