The selection criteria for payment processors should have been defined
and used to evaluate whether each chapter is 'fit' for the purpose.
e.g.

1. technical capability,
2. fundraising know-how,
3. dedication to the donor's bill of rights

Note that the donor's bill of rights includes more than just privacy,
which is what is required by the fundraising agreement.

Anyway, most chapters have decided to adopt the donor's bill of
rights, including WMUK.
