The '''Wikimedia Affiliations Committee''' wiki ('''AffCom'''), formerly known as the '''Wikimedia Chapters Committee''' wiki ('''ChapCom'''), is a {{tag|private}} workspace [[wiki]] site for the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) {{WMF-Meta|Affiliations Committee}} (formerly known as the Chapters Committee).  The Affiliations Committee is a Wikimedia community committee entrusted with advising the [[Wikimedia Board|Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees]] on the approval of new movement affiliates: national or subnational {{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia chapters|chapters}}, thematic organisations and [[:Category:User group|user groups]].


The Committee was created on 15 January 2006, by a resolution of the Board of Trustees, along with several other Wikimedia Foundation committees.  Its original mandate included coordination of the development of Wikimedia chapters, which at the time were at an early stage of organisation, as well as facilitating communication among the chapters and between chapters and the Wikimedia Foundation.

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, finalising the transition into the Affiliations Committee.
