Thank you for a sensible response.
Hopefully Wikimedia Belgium will be able later to publish some agreed
recommendations or conclusions, both for how this case could have been
handled more appropriately, and how the WMF procedures or policies
should improve better to protect the interests of all t

The "sender is Romaine" is not the same as "Romaine is WMBE". This sort of
confusion should have been prevented by allowing another person to send
this email on behalf of WMBE.

Hello Caroline,
I'm very sorry for what happened back in Capetown and that today you are
reminded of this again through a public mailing list, where the story is
starting to lead it's own life. I can only imagine that you felt the need
to correct this misinterpretation of what happened to you.
I k
I was forced to step up *today* on this mailing list because the
description of the WIkimania 2018 incident in the first mail was false: the
claim that "none of us expressed there was a problem" is simply not what
happened.
And by the way this is exactly why the details of stuff like that are NOT
Hi Dariusz,
I understand Caroline wanted to add that she was finding difficult that
Romain was not aware of her stress or unease on a specific situation
vaguely described there (without any mention to her at all). And that later
they have talked about it, and she accepted his apologies for that in

Thank you WMBE for your long report.
I was at Wikimania 2018 and I was deeply troubled by the actions taken by
the Trust & Safety team. I now have a much clearer understanding of what
went on, and I feel that there really needs to be some introspection done
by the Trust & Safety team.

Hello,
It seems to me the best that a (different) member of the WMBE board
contacts a suitable person at WMF. A public list is not the best place
for sorting these things out.
Kind regards

My understanding is that noone was banned from an event.

I'm comparing it to a case where spreading of rumors led to the
condemnation of presumably innocent people without due process, in a kind
of "precautionary principle".
The punishment in question is immaterial to this case. Or will you argue
that an episode is only worth of attention if people are k
I understand it as an official message from WMBE emanating from their last
General Assembly, posted by one of the board members on behalf of the
chapter.
But probably it should have been posted by another person, indeed, to avoid
confusion.

Are you comparing banning someone to participate at conference(s) with
hanging innocent people?

Unbelievable that this sort of thing is coming from one of the WMF
trustees, even as a personal opinion.

Considering that it was sent by that person, one may reasonably conclude
that it was written by them. That being said, I do not want to believe that
it was not reviewed and approved by the governing board (assuming it was

Dariusz,
I've read and reread the WMBE message, and have not found anything near
"pushing people who felt harassed or mistreated to step forward".
I also do not understand why you're addressing WMBE as "Romaine" (begging
the question?).
Can you please clarify?

whoa!
pushing people who felt harassed or mistreated to step forward is not ok at
all. I do not honestly understand why the story from nearly a year ago has
emerged, with personal details.
It is not unusual for people who caused distress to not have done it
intentionally, and to genuinely beli
Am I right in thinking that this email, containing a long account of
the alleged poor treatment of the Treasurer of WMBE, referred to
throughout in the third person, was in fact written by that person?

Hi all,
I have no opinion whatsoever about all the things going on in this mail,
except for this part :
Three additional anonymous complaints were:

* having touched someone's hand/arm
