To keep the scope of this tight, I would advocate for breaking out the last two acceptance criteria into their own (non-critical, non-MVP) sub-task.

@KLans_WMF : I am not clear on the disposition of this task.

To resolve it, we would have to edit the task to remove "agreed", as well as perhaps the bullets about "guidelines" and "answers". Earlier you had proposed splitting this in half, which would have helped (or perhaps still could).

The original initiative got far enough along for the foundation to complete its annual plan. It is not clear whether additional work will be needed, and especially whether any needed work would align with these earlier plans. Declining.
