For legal ethical reasons, we unfortunately can only represent the Wikimedia Foundation and cannot be the attorney for the community or movement organizations, though the legal team often provides strong support to the community in many ways consistent with Wikimedia movement's goals.
Request for legal review is officially submitted!
Just noting that I'm figuring out who specifically in Legal to reach out to. Will [hopefully] report back with more support soon!

Untagging Security-Team for now until T381944
I am following up and seeing whether we can schedule a discussion with the Human Rights team, just a small update.
@Freedom4U thank you for filing this and exposing our conflicting expectations! 😊
Okay, sounds good!

@sbassett thank you for the quick response!
Hey @nshahquinn-wmf @Freedom4U - Sorry about the confusion, but I do not believe the Security-Team has ever provided input or direction on this policy. The aforementioned foundationwiki page seems to be exclusively edited by folks on the WMF-Legal and WMF-Communications teams. I would likely start with them for any questions or recommendations you might have, but I'm not sure either team is active on Phabricator. In fact, the WMF Legal Team definitely is not and would likely need to be contacted via legal [at] wikimedia.org.

Discussed at WMF/Stewards meeting: pending verification from WMF Legal:
Trust and Safety Product Team actively maintains CheckUser and has made numerous improvements to it over the last year. While there is still a lot that can be done to improve the extension, I think the way forward is to continue with individual feature requests and bug reports, rather than look at an overhaul. As such, I'm going to close this task, but if you disagree, please reopen and let's discuss.

Note: also tested after removing recovery email address from requester, so they have no email address.
I just went through the user story here is the current results:
Business Arrangement Request has been approved in Coupa after legal review. Details available in Coupa, but summary: there are no issues with us using miniconda / miniforge. We are bound by conda-forge CoC: https://conda-forge.org/community/code-of-conduct/, but there isn't anything unexpected in there.

For brand recognition, we may not want to heavily transform or cut out from a project's logo.
Business Arrangement Request has been sent in Coupa.
Thank you!
Everything looks as expected to me. I don't know what the problem two years ago could have been.

It looks like it should work… I can give it a try.
Commons Android app team here, we really want to implement DNG upload in the app as soon as possible.
It will be transparent for the user, as the app can find the DNG file associated to the JPG being uploaded.
Submitted a L3SC, to learn more about Legal's standpoint on this suggestion. Link for WMF staff: https://app.asana.com/0/1200593981796154/1208524172805723/f.
