Safeguarding donor rights, and financial interests of the Movement

... Yet there is no mention to safeguard the rights of the individual contributors, that cover non-disclosure of personal data obtained through the movement (also taking action against people who do use that information), the freedom to contribute anonymously, ensure only absolutely essential information is retained once collected i.e. affiliate membership/scholarships/event attendance. It matters that this is also part of the key opening statement.

The Wikimedia Movement uses open licensing to share all content it produces, all its software, and access to all its platforms

Mention here is remiss that ensures that proprietary use is permitted when necessary, e.g. YouTube, or perhaps other admin tools (especially around data security) as well as media licenses.

The Wikimedia Movement endeavors to use open licensing to share all content it produces, all its software, and access to all its platforms

Will there be those who will "hammer"organizers using Google Meet (or something as easy) and demand that the Foundation unnecessarily expend resources to build a proprietary video chat utility or some other superfluous idea?

Responsibilities

In the section on Volunteers, as there are Responsibilities specified. If so, then there should be basic rights as well specified in the Movement Charter.

There is danger here to open interpretation. Wikimedia communities must have full editorial control of the content in their individual Wikimedia projects. A lawyer can take this to mean an affiliate has editorial control over specific language projects, or content areas. There are two sides to this one: WM Thailand, for example, taking ownership of thai.wikipedia and the other is the Thailand government holding WM Thailand responsible for every edit, including their royal decrees on what can be said.

Imagine how China would love to stop Taiwanese people from editing. WM Bangladesh and their split community where the affiliate is already using admin powers to exclude editors. Russian government has tried this, as has Iran so it is not unheard of. Very specifically, it needs to say that Wikimedia projects must have full control.

Movement bodies should follow up with a clear statement that says they have no editorial control over any project, all decisions about a project are formed by consensus of the project contributors.

GCA/GCB isn’t clean and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Supplementary_Document/Global_Council needs more attention.

Amendments

It lists 5 categories but no catch-all for those things, "square pegs". Also, there should be more allowance for community proposals, as the current draft doesn’t explicitly empower communities or individuals.

Note: The Global Council Board may propose Categories 1, 2, 3 or 4 amendments. The Global Council Assembly may propose Category 2, 3 and 4 amendments. Category 5 amendments are proposed by members of the Wikimedia Movement.

Category 1: Everyone should be able to highlight even just a spelling error, as it is, they can’t just make a change.

Category 2: is obviously only capable of GCA/GCB as their processes.

Categories 3 & 4 are about the GC -- and the Community should be able to propose changes.

Category 5 is undefined, or it could be said to be open to any proposal -- although the other 4 are defined as exclusive. It appears the Community can't propose in those areas.
