Hey,
People in the committee have meetings from time to time, so they know each
other but we don't have any "dedicated" person to keep track of real
identities/pseudonym of the members.

Hi Amir,
Thanks. I agree with your assessment.
Probably asking for the obvious: is there someone on the committee that
knows the real world identity (and the other way around, the online
pseudonym) of each member, and could flag a COI/suggest to abstain if need
be? (aside from people refraining t
Hello,
(As a member, not talking on behalf of the committee)
The committee is a body of volunteers and they can't be forced to disclose
their real identities. There's no such policy in the CoC and if you think
it should be added, feel free start a discussion on CoC amendment [0] but
in the mean tim
If you want to see the entire world through the lens of Kafka, be my
guest, but we can't make policy in this movement based on that.

Hi Natacha
I am not sure this thread is about whether T&S action was in order or not.
Aside the recent WP:FRAM, I am not aware of a single instance where T&S
action's was criticized largely by the community or those you described as
official representative of movement/chapters. Most opinion expre
Camelia,
My comment was not about harassment, was about systemic and rampant lack of
due process on the part of the WMF.
And it's not drama, it's reality.

Oh my Gosh Paulo, can you stop this dramma about yourself and your problem

Hoi,
I am afraid that this is a misrepresentation. Romaine is a "self confessed"
person with Asperger. Within our community we have an overrepresentation
with people with a mental health issue. This is to be expected. This is
typically not appreciated hardly ever understood. I have noticed before

False accusation with the respective punishment, that is. If it was just a
false accusation I would not care that much about it, though I obviously
dislike being falsely accused.

Hi Robert,
I believe you will only keep that opinion until the day you would be
subject to a false accusation by the WMF, without even knowing it, and
having no way to defend yourself appeal.
Everything is easy to talk about and have opinions while it is only
happening to the others. Unfortunatel
At some point we have to decide who this movement and community is
for. Is it for popular individuals to act out in any way they please

are not popular, who are
You do realize that you can email Romaine privately?

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
Taking everything and their dog as "harassment", without due process to
verify it, and issuing punishments one can't appeal based on that, creates
a feeling of fear and insecurity in the events; and provides a tool easy to
abuse by clever persons who understood how to game the system, as a vehicle

The initial message was a private message from Romaine (WMBE Board member)

How can we BE safe in the movement if we cannot question the decisions of T&S?
