Phoebe, I would really suggest reading the emails if you're interested in the discussion (or, conversely, not asking for a summary if you're not), but here's a quick-and-dirty condensation off the top of my head:
I started the thread to discuss how disposition of topless photo of a woman on Commons (being used on enwp), and that woman's right to consent or not consent to the photo being used, was being discussed entirely by men. The conversation then veered to how sexual images on Commons are a nearly-intractable problem and how Commons can be unwelcoming to people who try to discuss them, then to discussion of the Board's resolution that we must be sensitive to people's identity rights when photos are from private places, then to how Commons does or doesn't adhere to that resolution, then to how to make Commons adhere (better) to that resolution. There is no final result; there is only a general feeling that Commons's common practice is in dispute with how some people interpret the Board's resolution, that other people feel Commons is already making huge concessions to the ideas in the resolution, and that some individual images and categories of images are rather blatant violations of Commons's and/or the Board's policies/resolutions.
Hope this helps.
