Right, I should have been more explicit that I have no reason to expect that the situation in Brasil as anywhere close to that point, I was more making the general point of the limited direct influence the Wikimedia Foundation has over chapters in conflict. I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
To Ting's point that Foundation-l is not the right forum - I'm not sure I agree. I imagine the problem would not have been brought here unless there was a breakdown of communication on the other forms of exchange open to the participants. Obviously the list itself can't take any action, but it is a useful forum to solicit ideas and information from the wider community. I would hope that folks from all the various Wikimedia groups would see Foundation-l as a resource for assistance and wider views, as opposed to "escalation" that is to be avoided. Lastly - thank you Thomas (Buckup) for providing some more background.
