Hi Cornelius,
Thank you for the clarification. I suggest a change of wording, because
"the organized part of the movement" is much broader than WMF, its
committees, and the affiliates. I suggest that a suitable name for the
conference would be the "Wikimedia Affiliates Summit", which would be
Dear Kirill,
Thank you, that was very informative indeed.
I forgot to mention in my previous message, those three false statements
about WMPT conduct were presented as part of the justification for the WMPT
suspension in the original notification, sent 15 July. Despite receiving

You were provided ample details regarding these concerns, both in the
original suspension letter and in response to the specific questions raised
during the subsequent email discussion.
If Wikimedia Portugal wants to publish the full text of the suspension
letter and have a public
Kirill,
Correction: The message sent to you stating we were not going to head those
specific requests due to its illegality was sent in 17 July, not 15.
While we are at it, can you please explain why the AffCom has, in a message
dated 15 July, falsely accused WMPT of:

Kirill,
I requested a clarification regarding WMPT activities, and Gonçalo asked a
general clarification, also mentioning activities. In no way it implies
that we have understood your request as applying only to activities - In
fact, my understanding is everyone at WMPT understood it as a general
Paulo,
The request for clarification to which you refer was -- as I'm sure you
recall -- in reference to carrying out planned activities, and had nothing
to do with any legal matters, tax filings, or the like; the same was true
of the committee's response:

Paulo,
The email that the Affiliations Committee sent to you -- among various
others -- on May 18 read as follows:
Dear members of Wikimedia Portugal,

> by a number of members of the chapter, as well as members of
It does not surprises me in the least the AffCom had forced other
affiliates to "negotiate" with reported harassers.
On the message sent to the associates of WMPT in 18 May, the AffCom
demanded "*all members of the chapter to cease from taking part in this
conflict and to work to resolve
While I cannot speak to the legality of these actions, Affcom's demand that
we (Brazilian affiliates) meet with reported harassers was very troubling
to me. The fact that despite our agreement with that baffling condition no
actual mediation took place, Affcom refused to engage with
Two illegal requests, to be more precise.
Last 18 May, the AffCom demanded (by mail) that the recently elected (15
April) WMPT board stopped acting as such. However, under the Portuguese
law, that board, which had been elected in a validated General Assembly,
was the only valid board of the
Dear Cornelius,
Could you please elaborate re the decision to not include learning and
capacity building?
Events where Wikimedians from around the world gather together do not

Dear Pine,
yes, "the organized part of the movement" is another term to describe the
part of the Wikimedia movement that includes the WMF, its committees and
the affiliates.
Best regards
Cornelius

I don't want affiliates to get a free pass to create problems or neglect
their responsibilities such as by failing to produce reports, misusing
trademarks, misappropriating funds, etc., and I am glad to see that AffCom
is taking action when it thinks that there are problems. However, I am
Hello Daniela and Cornelius,
Thank you for this update.
Can you clarify what you mean by "The next conference will focus on the
Movement Strategy process and
movement governance for the organized part of the movement in general"? Are
you referring to governance for the WMF and affiliates? Online
Dear all,
As Nicole Ebber already wrote a couple of weeks ago, we would like to give
you some further information about the next Wikimedia Conference, that will
take place from March 29–31, 2019 in Berlin, Germany.
