Application Review

With regard to Commons Photographers User Group's application for user group status and criteria:

At least 3 active Wikimedia editors: CRITERION MET
Focus advances Wikimedia: CRITERION MET
Mission aligned with Wikimedia Foundation: CRITERION MET
Compliance with naming guidelines and trademark policy: CRITERION MET
Information about group published on a Wikimedia wiki: CRITERION MET

Two designated contacts for Wikimedia Foundation: CRITERION MET

Based on this review I would like to approve Commons Photographers User Group’s application and grant them user group status for one year. If there are no concerns or objections, I will move forward with this action Monday, April 10, 2017, after a 72 hour window for AffCom members to raise potential concerns or objections.

It is the opinion of the Affiliations Committee that the group meets the requirements for Wikimedia User Group status.

Therefore be it resolved that Commons Photographers User Group is recognized as a Wikimedia User Group for a one-year, renewable period, effective on April 27, 2017
