The Affiliations Committee (formerly known as Chapters Committee, colloquially AffCom) is a Wikimedia community-run committee entrusted with advising the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on the approval of new movement affiliates: national and subnational chapters, thematic organisations, and user groups.
Komite ini didirikan pada tanggal 15 Januari 2006 berdasarkan resolusi dari Dewan Pengawas dan beberapa komite Wikimedia lainnya. Mandat awal dari komite ini termasuk mengkordinasi pengembangan cabang Wikimedia—yang saat itu pengembangannya masih dalam tahap awal—, serta memfasilitasi komunikasi antarcabang dan komunikasi antara cabang dengan Wikimedia Foundation.
Pada tahun 2012, berdasarkan diskusi komunitas dan resolusi Dewan Pengasa, skup kerja Komite ditambahkan hingga mencakup organisasi tematik dan kelompok pengguna. Berdasarkan resolusi tersebut pula, komite membuat anggaran dasarnya yang secara resmi diterima oleh Dewan Pengawas pada bulan Agustus. Dengan adanya anggaran dasar ini, transisi ke Komite Afiliasi difinalisasi.

Komite Afiliasi membuat rekomendasi kepada Dewan Pengawas dalam pengakuan, penyetujuan, dan pendirian afiliasi gerakan Wikimedia, dan juga memfasilitasi pendirian organisasi-organisasi tersebut. Atau dengan kata lain, Komite Afiliasi membantu Wikimedia dari seluruh penjuru dunia untuk mengorganisasi diri dan membentuk cabang, organisasi tematik, dan kelompok pengguna, dan mendapatkan pengakuan dari Wikimedia Foundation.
Kami dapat membantu Anda mendirikan organisasi dengan memberi petunjuk cara membuat anggaran dasar, menjawab pertanyaan tentang ekspetasi Wikimedia Foundation dari sebuah afiliasi, dan menyediakan bantuan serta saran untuk memecahkan masalah teknikal, merek dagang, administratif, pengembangan komunitas yang umum dihadapi. Bila memungkinkan, kami juga dapat menyetujui pemberian dukungan finansial untuk mendukung aktivitas Anda (seperti memberikan donasi untuk mengganti biaya pendaftaran dan menjalankan proyek).
Bila Anda tertarik dan ingin berhubungan dengan orang lain di sekitar Anda yang juga sedang menjalankan usaha yang sama, jangan segan untuk menghubungi kami dengan berbagai metode yang kami sediakan, kami dengan senang hati akan membantu Anda untuk berhubungan dengan orang yang tepat.
The Affiliates Committee comprises volunteers selected for their enthusiasm and their skills in community organising, cross-cultural communication, reviewing bylaws, and providing governance advice for emerging organisations. There are currently ten voting members with terms of two years each; the terms are arranged so that half of the seats are up for election every year.
Voting members of the Committee are helped by an unspecified number of non-voting advisers, either appointed by the Board of Trustees (known as Board liaisons) or by the Committee itself. Advisers provide the Committee with on-the-ground experience, language skills, and governance advice, and are able to take part in discussions on an internal wiki and a non-public mailing list.
Certain Wikimedia Foundation staff members are also actively present on the Affiliations Committee's non-public mailing list and internal wiki acting as liaisons and providing insight and advice when needed. They are not formal members of the committee, and are present at the request of the Wikimedia Foundation and with permission from voting members of the committee.
All members of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees have access to the Affiliations Committee's internal wiki.
If you'd like to be a voting member of the Committee, please leave a note on the talk page, and you'll be notified when seats become available. The last elections took place at the end of 2023, with new members joining the Committee in January 2024. The next selection is scheduled for the end of 2024, with new members joining the Committee in January 2025.
