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.
