Wikimedia chapters are not beholden to one specific project. There are
hundreds of people banned or blocked on one WMF project who are active,
respected members of other projects; in fact, even on English Wikipedia,
appropriate and valued work in another WMF project or area is usually
considered a mitigating factor when a user requests review of a sanction.
(For the record, I am a member of the Arbitration Committee that voted to
ban the user in question, and did support a ban.)

u possibly clarify.
Are you saying that this person should be allowed to represent the
community in an official capacity even though he has been recently banned
for inappropriate behavior and breaking community guidelines?
I just want to make sure that im understanding your point of view
correctly.

I would recommend considerable caution in discussing this issue on this
mailing list. One of the key "harassment" issues was that the now-banned
user attempted to contact the WMF about another user whom he believed to
beemployed by the WMF under some form of grant or contract. It raises an
interesting question that some here would think it appropriate to try to
affect that person's position in a Wikimedia chapter because of the English
Wikipedia ban; it is parallel to the situation for which the user was banned
in the first place.
At least one other party under conditional sanctions in the same case is
an active and respected member of this mailing list, and I can respect that
it would be difficult for that individual to have this matter dissected
here. Please proceed with caution.
