Great way to encourage transparency, diversity and accountability

I support this pilot and I think it's great strategy as we are moving towards 2030. I think more than transparency it will also encourage more diverse groups to participate as well as encouraging accountability to those affiliates who are lagging behind with their reporting, adding this page to my watchlist I'm gonna keep an eye on the progress of this page.Bobbyshabangu (talk) 08:25, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Space to support new groups formations and information

We support this portal as a space of transparency and information. Even in this beta stage, it is useful for our user group, Black Lunch Table, to see other Wikimedians organizing and with whom we may have project and interest overlaps. --Raggachampiongirl (talk) 16:49, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Additional level of information and transparency

As WikiDonne primary contact, but also as AffCom member I am so happy to see this page and this one, to inform the community about the committee's activity, the steps of the affiliation process and status of our affiliates. We really wanted this additional level of information and transparency. Thank you. --Camelia (talk) 09:35, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Add a timeline or (and) steps of the process

I propose to put a chronology so that those who are concern can see where is the level of the process. --Reda Kerbouche (talk) 11:10, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Update information on the page

Hello everyone, hello @DAlangi (WMF):, @MKaur (WMF): and @Mehman97:, maybe you can update the informations on this page, it is very important for the future affiliations to know their statue. Warm regards--Reda Kerbouche (talk) 11:30, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
