La Komitato pri Filioj (anglalingve Affiliations Committee, ekse Chapters Committee, mallonge AffCom) estas Vikimedia komunume funkcianta komitato, kiu celas konsili Fideikomisiularon de la Fondaĵo Vikimedio pri la aprobo de novaj movadaj filioj: naciaj kaj subnaciaj filioj, temaj organizaĵoj, kaj uzantogrupoj.

La Komitato estis fondita je la 15a de Januaro, 2006, de rezolucio de la Fideikomisiularo, kune kun pluraj aliaj Vikimediaj komitatoj. Ĝia origina mandato inkluzivis kunordigado de la disvolvado de Vikimediaj filioj—kiuj tiam estis je frua stadio de organizado—kaj faciligo de komunikado inter la filioj kaj la Fondaĵo Vikimedio.

In 2012, following a community discussion and a resulting Board of Trustees' resolution, the scope of the Committee was expanded to include thematic organisations and user groups. In accordance with the resolution, the Committee drafted its charter which was officially approved by the Board in August, finalizing the transition into the Affiliations Committee. An updated charter was approved in 2022.



La procedo de la Komitato pri Filioj (anglalingva PDF-prezentaĵo en 2012).

The Affiliations Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the recognition, approval and existence of Wikimedia movement affiliates, and for facilitating the creation of those organisations. In other words, the Committee helps Wikimedians from all around the world self-organise into chapters, thematic organisations and user groups, and to gain official recognition from the Wikimedia Foundation.

We can guide you through the founding process of your organisation by helping you to prepare bylaws, answering questions about what the Foundation expects from an affiliate, providing help and advice on solving common technical, trademark, administrative and community-building issues, and—if appropriate—by approving limited financial support for starting up your activities (such as covering the costs of registration and running initial projects).

If you're interested in getting in touch with local efforts in your area, feel free to contact us using any of the methods listed below, and we'll be happy to put you in contact with the right people.


For further information, see Affiliations Committee/Members.

The Affiliates Committee comprises volunteers selected for their enthusiasm and their skills in community organising, cross-cultural communication, reviewing bylaws, and providing governance advice for emerging organisations. There are currently ten voting members with terms of two years each; the terms are arranged so that half of the seats are up for election every year.

Voting members of the Committee are helped by an unspecified number of non-voting advisers, either appointed by the Board of Trustees (known as Board liaisons) or by the Committee itself. Advisers provide the Committee with on-the-ground experience, language skills, and governance advice, and are able to take part in discussions at subcommittee meetings.

Certain Wikimedia Foundation staff members are also actively present on the Affiliations Committee's non-public mailing list and internal wiki acting as liaisons and providing insight and advice when needed. They are not formal members of the committee, and are present at the request of the Wikimedia Foundation and with permission from voting members of the committee.

All members of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees have access to the Affiliations Committee's internal wiki.

If you'd like to be a voting member of the Committee, please leave a note on the talk page, and you'll be notified when seats become available. The last elections took place at the end of 2023, with new members joining the Committee in January 2024. The next selection is scheduled for the end of 2024, with new members joining the Committee in January 2025.
