Hi Nathan, I would say the reasons can change, but one of the most important are being inactive for a very long period of time, and repeated failure to provide a response and a plan to restart activities, despite offering advise and assistance. Another could be a serious violation of the chapters agreement, after repeated requests to normalize the situation. I do not want to mention a specific example for privacy reasons, but you can't expect to keep the recognition forever if your group doesn't organize any activities, and when inquired about the lack of these, fail to provide a response or accept help to restart the group. And again, the process is not automatic, the WMF has been monitoring the different affiliates constantly, and we assist in reaching out to them whenever there is no response. You may find a perhaps similar approach in the eligibility criteria for attending the WMCON.

I answer your question in my prior post, and hopefully subsequent posts by others have cleared up any other confusion. Maor - thank you for your explanation. Would it be fair to say that the criteria for considering denying renewal are informal, and that some factors (including communication with AffCom) may not be publicly available for review? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
