User Group Agreement Highlights
[редактиране на кода]- Disclaimer: This summary is not a part of the Agreement and is not a legal document. It is simply a handy reference to point out some key terms. Please read the User Group Agreement terms and conditions in full.
Wikimedia User Groups are independent groups of local volunteer Wikimedians who initiate and lead innovative and creative projects, meetings, events, and programs that advance the mission of empowering and engaging people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain and to disseminate it effectively and globally.
This Agreement applies to a User Group, represented by two individual members who act as agents of that group.
A User Group receives:
- official recognition as part of the Wikimedia movement; and
- a valuable trademark license to use specified Wikimedia trademarks for certain limited noncommercial activities described in the Agreement.
A User Group and its agents must:
- promote and support the mission of empowering and engaging people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain and to disseminate it effectively and globally;
- comply with applicable law, User Group requirements, trademark policy, privacy laws, and other obligations spelled out in the Agreement;
- submit a written activity report in English to the community each year;
- authorize two individual agents to represent the User Group and provide adequate identification documents for those agents;
- notify the Wikimedia Foundation whenever an agent ceases to be a member of the User Group;
- allow the Wikimedia Foundation to monitor how the trademark is used; and
- never represent itself as the Wikimedia Foundation or as a partner or an agent of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Note: A User Group is not formally associated with the Wikimedia Foundation in any sense other than as described in the Agreement.
