Annual report - Permission error

1 Why is the Annual report only available to WMCH members? --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:10, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

The annual reports are required to be public as part of the Chapters agreement signed with the WMF, plus this is a requirement on legally registered organizations. The reports do appear publicly without needing to sign up, you can find links to them on Reports; so the text of the WMCH page is probably misleading and should be corrected. -- (talk) 12:22, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks Steinsplitter, I corrected the link--Charles Andrès (WMCH) 13:53, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
And thanks for fixing it so promptly Charles. :-) -- (talk) 13:56, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
I should have done it faster, but I guess I miss the email alert in the middle of all the alerts about modification of the FDC Q1 reports ;-) --Charles Andrès (WMCH) 14:04, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

This is an update from the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee. Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee is requesting comments on proposed best practices for Wikimedia user group logos. The committee will seek community input until Saturday, May 24, 2014. After considering the community's input, the Affiliations Committee will publish on Meta-Wiki guidelines for Wikimedia user group logos.

There is already a standard format used by chapters, and that format is being applied to thematic organizations as well. Chapters and thematic organizations have also worked with Wikimedia Foundation legal in the past on custom logos. Wikimedia user groups may also create custom logos, and the new trademark policy allows for logos to be based off the community or Wikimedia Foundation logos. However, there remains a question of the best practice for standard user group logos.

Please make any comments or ask any questions on Meta-Wiki at Affiliations Committee/RFCs/Wikimedia user group logos.

Thank you - Wikimedia Affiliations Committee

The Affiliations Committee is looking for new members. The committee's work requires communication with volunteers all over the World, negotiating skills and cultural sensitivity and the ability to understand legal texts. We try to get a healthy mix of different skill sets in our members.

Members are usually selected every twelve months for staggered two-year terms. The applications will be voted on by the current members not seeking re-election, taking into account comments put forward by the committee's members, advisers, WMF staff and board liaisons based on the membership criteria. A final decision will be made by the end of October 2014, with new members expected to join on or around 1 November 2014.

Please read the full call for candidates for more information, membership criteria, and details on how to apply.

Best regards,
Carlos Colina
Chair, Affiliations Committee
