Hello, just a few remarks from the OC about this case.

It also said that they would inform > the WMF about the case, and if I had any further information on who > "released such information" then I should contact them. > Confirmed. > > On 6 June 2014 I heard back from the OC and they stated that my > complaint was being forwarded to the Wikimedia Foundation and that > they had been informed about the possible running of an unnecessary > CU, in addition to the possible release of CU logs.

An unknown Commons CU had > indeed leaked my CU data to another person who was NOT a CU on > Commons. The information given to this non-CU person included the very > name of the person who ran the CU on me; information which was so > sensitive to keep from me, but not sensitive enough that it was able > to be shared with every Tom, Dick and Harry that wasn't me. > I wonder why the OC never got any information about this from you. So would you please write us where that information comes from and what exactly happened? Thanks. > > On 2 July 2014 I was contacted by someone within Legal informing me > that it was their understanding that "the Ombudsman Commission has > finished its investigation into this matter and has already > communicated its decision to you." > It had, on the basis of the information we got from you. We can obviously not base our decision on information that is not relayed to us, like that mentioned one section above. > > Given this, I am asking very publicly the following questions: > > * (1) on what grounds a CheckUser action was performed on my account > on Wikimedia Commons? > * (2) who requested that it be performed on Commons? > * (3) who fulfilled the request? > * (4) why is it acceptable for CUs to share actions related to my > account with non-CUs whilst at the same time actively keeping this > information from me? > * (5) why are complaints such as this actively ignored by the WMF Board? > (1) through (3) can only be answered by the Commons community. It is completely outside the OC's remit to answer this. @ (4): You might want to discuss this with the OC non-publicly. We are very interested in getting any available information about this. In general, you are right that it is not acceptable to share non-public information with non-CUs. However, it is acceptable to give CU information to stewards (who might not be CU on Commons), for example, under certain circumstances. Best regards, Thogo.
