I have the feeling that we need to clarify what it means to be a "paid admin" vs a "community-supported volunteer".
In my definition, a "paid admin" is a person who receives a salary to perform a delimited function not necessarily aligned with his/her will. There is a contractual obligation where a organization is paying the person in exchange of some tasks. Which is basically the definition of a job. On the other hand I see a "community-supported volunteer" as a volunteer who receives a grant/donation to be able to support himself/herself while doing whatever he/she feels like doing in the project (with oversight of the community), which normally are core activities that cannot be bundled up in a "project grant". Do these definitions make the distinction clear? Gnangarra, given those definitions, could you please explain how giving a grant/donation to a person shifts the WMF or an affiliate to being legally responsible for the actions of this person? As I see it if I make a donation to a person I am not responsible for their actions, but I might be wrong. And in which way would that expose them in their countries? I would also like to express my gratitude to you for participating in this conversation with a simple thank you.
