Abstract: The Affiliations Committee, Wikimedia community-run committee, makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees of WMF on the recognition, approval, and existence of Wikimedia movement affiliates and for facilitating the creation of those organizations. In other words, the Committee helps Wikimedians from all around the world self-organize into chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups and to gain official recognition from the Wikimedia Foundation. We can guide you through the founding process of your organization by helping you to prepare bylaws, answering questions about what the Foundation expects from an affiliate, providing help and advice on solving common technical, trademark, administrative, and community-building issues, and—if appropriate—by approving limited financial support for starting up your activities (such as covering the costs of registration and running initial projects). So we want as a committee to share our latest updates with the community to make things easier for them. This will help the community to understand our work better. And we will also answer questions from the community that they care about.		Slides: on Commons
