That's an interessing conclusion you reach, because the Executive
Director's words *are* indeed clear - as you quoted:
"In the future, *the Wikimedia Foundation* will
not support or
endorse the creation of paid roles that have article writing as
a core focus [...]"
(emph. mine)
I'm pretty sure I don't see the "movement" mentionned anywhere in
there.
Whether the chapters intend to take such a position themselves is indeed
an interesting question, but that they are obligated to do so or that
the FDC is obligated to ensure that they do does not follow from what
Sue has been saying.
