Alignment against movement priorities (as laid out by movement strategic planning processes)
Commitment to a decentralized movement.
Commitment to transparency and multiculturalism

Relationships

between the organizational part of the movement and the editing community

Specification of roles in the movement

and relationships between components of the organizational part of the movement

- should incorporate work on new models

Legitimacy requirements

- should incorproate work on what constitutes a legitimate part of the organizational part of the movement (including principles for becoming and staying legitimized by communities)

Accountability mechanisms

(or better word for this)

Communications

Limitations

what is excluded from this charter

Requirements for a good charter
