Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy: Affiliate health criteria and changes to User Group recognition process
[edit]- This communication has been adapted from the original message.
Dear all,
We would like to thank all of you who shared feedback with us during this phase of the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy process that started in November 2022, both on- and off-wiki. You can read the report from the first phase here.
Since that point, AffCom has been working with the Board of Trustees, Foundation staff, affiliates, and wider community members to enable them to provide appropriate guidance to affiliates regarding what it means to be an active and healthy Wikimedia organisation. As a result of those conversations, the committee has voted to adopt the following 10 criteria for affiliates, grouped into four main areas:
- Goal delivery
- Organisational Development
- Good governance & communication
- Financial & legal compliance
- Affiliate health & resilience
- Leadership & Inclusion
- Diverse, skilled, and accountable leadership
- Diversity balance (especially gender)
- Universal Code of Conduct compliance)
- Engagement & Collaboration
- Internal (membership) engagement
- Community connection
- Partnerships & collaboration
You are encouraged to read more details about each of these criteria here, including guidance on how each can be met. All criteria will be tracked for all affiliates, except for the criteria around financial and legal compliance, which only apply to those affiliates receiving funds and/or that are incorporated.
Staff and AffCom are working on streamlining affiliate reporting requirements, and responding to feedback raised during the community feedback period about the reporting burden. The new requirements of data collected in reports would be useful also for different Foundation teams and departments, and allow for the creation of detailed regional or global reports that demonstrate affiliate health and impact.
In July 2024, AffCom will work to finalise the implementation plans for the changes to the affiliate requirements and application process. In August 2024, updates will be made to Meta-wiki and other supporting platforms.
You can follow the process here.
The insights from the 2023 process also included recognising a need to strengthen AffCom processes for evaluating potential User Groups’ furtherance of shared movement goals, sustainability, and general ability to be healthy and active movement participants. AffCom has adopted a revised process for User Group recognition, and will be pausing new User Group recognitions until September 2024.
No immediate changes are happening, except the pause of considering new User Group recognitions until September, for applications received after today, June 12, 2024. Once more detailed implementation plans are developed, there will be an update here and on the relevant Meta pages with the next steps after Wikimania.
To provide your feedback, please leave a comment on the main talk page on Meta.
Alternatively, you can join AffCom's open office hours on June 19 at 14:00 UTC or request a conversation as a part of Talking:2024. You can use the Let’s Talk to sign up for a time to speak with us.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Best regards,
Nat, Mike & Lorenzo

Hello everyone!
The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas about current developments in the Wikimedia Movement. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for further Wikimedia 2030 strategy process work.
At this meeting we will focus on the results of the Movement Charter ratification. We will also discuss the aftermath of the Board of Trustees' decision to veto the Movement Charter, including their recent proposals. We will also cover updates about upcoming Wikimania 2024.
This month, we are meeting on Sunday, July 28, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

Notification of upcoming reporting due date
[edit]Greetings Sageo, Freddy eduardo,
This is a notification to bring to your attention that your organization reporting date is coming up in 29 day(s). Wikimedia Affiliates are required to submit an annual activity report covering the entirety of the 12-month agreement period in order to prompt review for a renewal. Reports must be written in English, posted to meta via the Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal.
This page is used to track how organizations and groups are meeting reporting requirements described in their agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation (e.g. chapter agreements, thematic organization agreements, user group agreements). It is the central place where affiliates can add reports about their activities, share their plans, and even news or social media channels with the wider movement. When new reports are available, organizations and groups should add them to this page to keep their columns up to date.
As noted on the meta Reports page, your organization’s 2024 annual reporting will be due in 2024-11-05. Please be sure to:
- Post your 2024 annual reporting to the meta via the Wikimedia Affiliates Data Portal as soon as possible to return to compliance with your user group agreement.
- Check that your group’s page is also up to date with past report links for historical record-keeping, and
- Please send an email to Wikimedia-l in order to share with a movement-wide audience.
If you have any questions or need any further guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to wadportal

Best regards,

Introduction to affiliate health criteria form on Meta-wiki
[edit]Dear Wikimedia movement affiliates,
This communication is immediately relevant to some of you; for others, it is just 'for your information'. This communication has updates on the affiliate reporting requirements for affiliates listed here in Group B, the ones with their reports due after 1 November 2024. This excludes affiliates that are the General Support Fund grantees, who should have received an email from the Program Officer about the update to their reporting obligations.
In June 2024, the Affiliations Committee resolved to adopt a set of Affiliate Health Criteria. In order to implement these criteria, we are streamlining the reporting process for the current fiscal year (July 2024-June 2025).
As an affiliate impacted by this change, here is how your reporting is affected:
- You will use a new Meta-wiki form that includes prompts related to the Affiliate Health Criteria. You will create a report for your affiliate using a shared template. You can review a detailed instruction on how to use the template here, including using the TemplateData extension. The report may link other documents, including other reports or any relevant updates your group has prepared.
- You are no longer required to submit any affiliate reporting information to the Wikimedia Affiliate Data portal. Wikimedia Foundation staff will update the portal based on the reports you create on Meta-wiki.
Here is what will not change:
- Your existing timeline for affiliate reporting.
- Any reporting requirements your affiliate has related to grants or funding.
If you have any questions about these changes, please reach out to cst@wikimedia.org or join one of the information sessions on November 7 or November 8. In the meantime, you can learn more about the implementation plan here.
There will be additional information sessions offered early in 2025. We recommend that designated representatives of 'Group B' affiliates with a reporting date from November 2024 to 31 January 2025 to attend one of these sessions to learn more.
Best regards,
RamzyM (WMF) 08:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
