Dear Bishakha
In Frankfurt we said that we wanted to put the "table of contents/charter text" onto meta on March 10. IIRC, the rationale for this date was that it is two weeks before we meet in Berlin – to allow enough time for review, comment, correction, revision, percolation, etc.
Cheers

If you would like us to edit this together before putting it on meta, one option might be to put this on MR wiki. We are already creating a version of the charter there, ahead of putting it on meta. http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Charter
Dear Jon,
Is there a deadline to contribute to this on the MR wiki - before it goes on meta?

Hi
I added some replies to the working draft of the charter [1]. A couple of things-
1. I would suggest adding some clause about "dispute resolution" to the charter, who would have the final say on legal matters. Should there be a procedure or a contact at the foundation who would have final say in the matter?
2. After my conversation with lodewijk I've had a different outlook on the legal implications of permission given to other entities. We should consider the trademark and other Intellectual property as foundation's domain for legal purposes with some accommodation for a non-legal, non-monetary association with the projects.
3. I suggest adding the term "Authorized" to the definitions to entities that can raise money and use Intellectual property on behalf of the foundation.
I hope others weigh in on some of these, I've only had one look at the charter but I plan on adding and clarifying some parts to it. I would like to bring it up on the list before it's finalized.
Thanks
Theo
