It sounds like the contact has to occur within the semi-circle, so it is not based on whether a player is touching the line or not.  That being said, I thought it was a blocking foul for more mundane reasons; the defender hadn’t established position and was still shuffling her feet when the contact occurred.  So I thought it should have been a blocking foul and not a charge.  But this is the sort of judgment call that refs make all the time and sometimes get wrong.  Overall, I thought the refs did a good job.
