Have you read the email to the Kenyan list? I think it explains the situation quite well. They haven't incorporated, which was a condition of the provisional chapter status. It sounds like the wmf thinks the kind of things they want to do are better suited to a user group than a chapter. I don't know enough about the Kenyan group to know if that is true, but other models of affiliation were created precisely because chapters are the right solution for every situation. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
