affiliate with vs. report to I believe that going back to the UN documents related to vacancies will show that they use "report to" in this sense: "to be supervised by someone or an office; e.g. "when you start work here, you will report to Mrs. Franklin". "I report directly to the home office". And this is the sense the asker is asking about. It is not about "joining", "belonging to" nor "working at" an entity, group nor department. It is about "points of reference": who works under whom? who supervises whom? who is answerable to whom?. With regards.
