Recognition of Wikimedia Belgium

Errors?→

After a motion to vote by Jan-Bart, seconded by Sam, this resolution was approved on August 6, 2014.

Whereas, the Affiliations Committee has reviewed the work of Wikimedia Belgium and advised that this group is ready for recognition as a Wikimedia chapter; and

Whereas, the Board of Trustees wishes to recognize and welcome Wikimedia Belgium as a Wikimedia chapter dedicated to supporting and promoting the Wikimedia movement;

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Board recognizes Wikimedia Belgium as a Wikimedia chapter, provided that Wikimedia Belgium accepts and complies with a Wikimedia Chapter Agreement. The Board instructs the Executive Director to offer a Wikimedia Chapter Agreement to Wikimedia Belgium. This agreement will govern the chapter's recognition and provide the chapter with specific permission to use the Wikimedia trademarks.

Pending execution of a Wikimedia Chapter Agreement, Wikimedia Belgium is entitled to request a trademark permission for its activity, pursuant to the Wikimedia Trademark Policy.
