Resolution: Recognition of Wikimedia Korea

Errors?→

This resolution was approved on November 11, 2018.

Whereas, the Affiliations Committee has assessed the application for recognition as a Wikimedia Chapter submitted by the Wikimedians of Korea User Group, and has advised the Board of Trustees that the applicant group meets the criteria for recognition as a Wikimedia Chapter, and that recognition of the applicant group as a Wikimedia Chapter under the name Wikimedia Korea would further the charitable aims of the Wikimedia Foundation and be in the best interests of the Wikimedia movement;

Whereas, the Board has independently assessed that recommendation and agrees with it; and

Whereas, the Board wishes to recognize and welcome the Wikimedians of Korea User Group as a Wikimedia Chapter dedicated to supporting and promoting the Wikimedia movement;

Now, therefore, it is:

Resolved, that the Board recognizes the Wikimedians of Korea User Group as a Wikimedia Chapter under the name Wikimedia Korea, provided that the Wikimedians of Korea User Group accepts and complies with a Wikimedia Chapter Agreement. The Board instructs the Executive Director to offer a Wikimedia Chapter Agreement to the Wikimedians of Korea User Group. This agreement will govern the chapter's recognition and provide the chapter with specific permission to use the Wikimedia trademarks.
