[Bug] Report form is not designed for meta affiliates

The report form is very cumbersome for affiliates that cover a large region or a thematic topic. It does beg the question why the report form is fixated on affiliates that only cover one language or one community. Would it be possible to ask more relevant questions of thematic or regional affiliates in a different form? Braveheart (talk) 16:47, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Board members and executive director

Dear all, do we have comparative information about board members (number, duration and election mode i.e. rotation) and executive director (who has it and mandate)? As Wikimedia Italia we would like to change our charter and to do it we would like to have a look at other chapters. Thanks for letting me know. maybe @Laurentius do you already have data about it? iopensa (talk) 13:55, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

@Iopensa: I don't know if there is a systematic overview. Regarding specifically the executive directors, a few years back I made a survey of the mandates and approaches to evaluation (mostly the second one) across different organizations. If I remember correctly, I put some materials in the board's shared directory in Wikimedia Italia's Nextcloud. It's 5+ years old though, and many things changed in the meantime.

We really think WikiConference North America is up to date as of early 2024

I submitted the WCNA 2023 report months ago, and it is listed on the Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal page. In that same row however, still the column at right says "Report past due." I have emailed multiple times about this, which does not seem to have been an efficient approach. How am I supposed to report this small problem in a way that corrects it? Hasn't the report been accepted by AffCom? Please change this table to say "Up to date" or "Compliant" or some such thing, or send advice if we are supposed to do something. This may become a tense point soon as our 2024 grant has been approved and we do want to be in good standing so as to be able to receive its money. -- econterms (talk) 21:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah, it's fixed. All set now. -- econterms (talk) 21:47, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

How often are reports required for compliance and good standing?

Looking at Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal/Reports, I see that most organizations do not have more recent reports than 2023. Many more end at 2024.

1. How frequently are Wikimedia Affiliates supposed to submit reports?
2. How frequently is this table updated, and who updates it?

Thank you for your question! Affiliates are required to submit reports annually as a condition of compliance and good standing. The portal may appear dated as we are currently in the process of revamping the Affiliates Data Portal — however, reporting requirements remain in place and all affiliates are still required to submit reports annually. This work is part of the broader AffCom revamp outlined in the Recognition Pause announcement. We will announce once the updated portal is live. We appreciate your patience!
