I agree an international approach would be best, but at the same time, [1] and [2] seriously limit the number and capabilities of would-be, active, and inactive volunteer editors.

Is it even possible to take a truly international approach to the underlying issue? I hope so, but I fear that any such approach will be more Kumbaya than active or effective problem solving.

Seriously, none of these. I'm completely satisfied with my job, I like my boss a lot and although my pay is not much, I don't believe any spree of activism in U.S. ("Every two weeks, our volunteers telephone targeted U.S. government decision makers...blah blah" http://incomeaction.org) would give more money for spending to my local government in Estonia. It may come as a surprise, but not everybody on Earth is American. Don't get me wrong, U.S. is all nice and fluffy, but Wikimedia movement is global. Let's focus on that.
