Could we have a confirmation from AffCom that the list of formerly active affiliates on meta is "official", i.e. the definitive public reference list, and is maintained? * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliates/Formerly_Active_Affiliates
If it is officially maintained, this may avoid folks becoming confused about which organizations on the main Reports page who have not managed to achieve their reporting requirements to comply with their contract/agreement with the WMF, no longer have a valid contract. As this is a legal decision, there should be no need for grey areas.
