Hi Risker, The chapter agreement should be public. There is a version of it at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Agreement_between_chapters_and_Wikimedia_Foundation, which might be slightly out of sync with a version on an internal wiki; most chapters sign the exact same agreement ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter_agreements). The fundraising agreement that the WMF now seems to back out of should also be public: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_agreement. The proposed grant agreement is currently on an internal wiki and not public.
