Hi Asaf, I note that the WMF's recognition decision here was recorded at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Recognition_of_Wikimedia_Kenya
Please could you confirm that WM Kenya didn't sign the chapter's agreement before 6 Feb 2013? I'm rather surprised to hear that they're being encouraged to incorporate and affiliate as a user group rather than as a chapter - please could you explain the rationale here?
