Summary

Internal-consistency normalizations against the spelling/terminology the repo already uses elsewhere, plus an HTTPS upgrade for shortlinks.

Theme Change Files
American spelling "organises"→"organizes", "recognised"→"recognized" Bylaws (×2), Regional Organization Support
nonprofit "non-profit"→"nonprofit" (matches the Bylaws) Code of Ethics, organizer-guidelines/finding-venue
Team name "Communications Team"→"Communication Team" (matches motion 10.2025.1 and Website Posting) disciplinary-incidents guidelines
Product branding "GSuite"/"G Suite"→"Google Workspace" (the current name; AI Usage already uses it) Volunteer Crash Course (×3), Email Account (×2)
Link safety http://wca.linkhttps://wca.link competitor tutorial + 4 translations (×10)
URL host add missing www. to two regulation links so all links in the file match Delegate Handbook

Deliberately left out (style choices for maintainers to decide)

For transparency, a few other consistency items were noted but not changed here, as the "correct" target is a judgement call: mixed fraction styles in the Bylaws (1/3 / one-fifth / ), regulations/# vs regulations/full/# link paths, "third party" vs "third-party", and literal-space vs %20 inside wca{}/wcadoc{} shortcuts.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- American spelling: "organises" -> "organizes" (Bylaws x2),
  "recognised" -> "recognized" (Regional Organization Support)
- "non-profit" -> "nonprofit" to match the Bylaws (Code of Ethics,
  organizer-guidelines/finding-venue)
- "Communications Team" -> "Communication Team" to match the motion
  title and Website Posting policy (disciplinary-incidents guidelines)
- Outdated product branding -> "Google Workspace": "GSuite" (Volunteer
  Crash Course x3) and "G Suite" (Email Account policy x2); AI Usage
  already uses "Google Workspace"
- Use HTTPS for wca.link regulation shortlinks in the competitor
  tutorials (x10 across all language versions)
- Delegate Handbook: add missing "www." to two regulation URLs so all
  ~57 links in the file use the same host
