Regarding the issue of Wikimedia being an international organization
and adjusting policies to reflect this - technically it is a United
States organization based on Florida, and as such its policies and
activities must conform with US law. I don't think it is standard
practice to explain legal terms in policies based on tax and other
laws. Perhaps it could be proposed that policies which are directed
specifically to comply with US law have an "International explanation"
somewhere for ease of understanding by those not familiar with the
requirements.
