Greetings,
This is an interesting topic. I feel there is a slight possibility (some)
questions asked may be misunderstood as "questions against human right
(implementation)", which is not true. The questions are about the process,
and not on the subject.
The Diff blog post mentions: "Our Human Rights Policy relates to *all *of
the rights
<https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights>
listed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights>.." For
now I would like to bring the following thoughts to your kind attention.
1) By structure there is an inequality in the labour/intellect
remuneration model:
salaried and volunteers. That's fine. The super-amazing volunteer work by
thousands of people makes Wikimedia. I understand this structure. However,
from the aspect of "human rights" and "right to equality", how do you
explain and what are your thoughts on the unequal labor /intellect
remuneration process?
2) There are things like individual rights, right to life, and several
other things. Volunteers solve their necessities themselves and the
movement has nothing to do in it. In a different context we were told
medical insurance during the pandemic could not be given to volunteers as
there is "no formal association with volunteers"! Only because we are
talking about human rights, I am interested to know your thoughts on this.
[.... .... Questions skipped, I hope the first two questions explain things]
L) Freedom of expression: opinion, religious expression etc we need to be
careful that they do not end up creating a problematic situation where we
have a neutral point of view, no advocacy rules also on some projects.
Please assume good faith,
ইতি,/Regards
