The Arbitration Committee list was forwarded a copy of the list post
with the express permission of Durova *well before* Giano posted it to
AN/I.
The post was forwarded *four days* after the original block -- only *hours*
before Giano posted it on AN/I.
Sorry, you're right, it was only hours before Giano's posting. I
mistook PM for AM. In any event, the ArbCom list did get Durova's
posting, with her permission, so the claim that Giano needed to post
it is not accurate.
While it would clearly have been better for Giano to forward the email to the
ArbCom rather than post, such a short distance between when the ArbCom got the
email and when Giano posted it does appear to be a relevant mitigating factor.
