Hello Isaac, Thank's a lot for your message. The affiliate I belong to has already requested more details on that sanction. However, from the information already provided, it is directly related to an AffCom resolution dating back from 8 April 2018, without any relation to me. For the moment I am

Hi Paulo, You said you got your information from a WMF source. Right? Is there no possibility for you to ask the same WMF source who to direct this question to? Have you tried to ask AffCom, WMF SuSa or the community engagement team? In any case, I wish you all the best. Isaac On Mon, May 6

Hi Tomasz, Thank you very much for the information. It is quite unexpected that the Board of Trustees can't be officially reached in any way, and we have to try to find our way individually to one and each of the trustees, until one of them accepts the hot potato in their hands (or not). I wonder

As far as I know there is no single E-mail address you can contact Board, but you can try to catch directly any members of the Board who are still brave enough to provide their personal E-mail... This is not that straightforward as you may expect, but first go here: https://wikimediafoundation.org

Hello Tomasz, Thank you for your answer. In the hypothesis of being the Board, how can one contact it? I do not see any address I could use listed here: https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/contact/ I hope at least some of them are reading this mailing list. They can get back to me, in public or

It seems that the only body can help with this is WMF Board od Trustees, as Affcom is the advisory committee of the Board, and the Board is the top body legally responsible for the work of entire WMF. pon., 6 maj 2019 o 15:39 Paulo Santos Perneta napisał(a): > Hi Cornelius, > > Apart from the ge

Hi Cornelius, Apart from the general discussion about the specific role of AffCom, I really would like to know who is the entity overseeing the AFfCom, so that I can send an official complaint there about what I believe is a fraudulent and out of process sanction. This is not a question for the Ro
