Well, in my own case I can confirm the decision was completely secret,
issued by some unstated entity inside the WMF, and when I knew about it by
a third party , the reason presented was blatantly false. I have requested
an appeal, with no success till the moment. So, at this point, I am not so
prone to consider WMF attitude on this case above suspicion. The WMF has a
long history of using its culture of medieval obscurity as an excuse for
not having to explain what is perceived as abuse.
Best,
Paulo

It seems the English Wikipedia community is concern
with whether WMF has
jurisdiction to ban a user in a single project with active arbitration
committee and if they may do so without any obligation to notify the
project Arbitration committee or the community.
Well, I don't know the specifics of this particular ban but I believe WMF
took the best decision in banning Fram considering the Foundation has acted
approximately in dealing with similar issues in the past.

Lack of transparency from the WMF, whatelse is
new.
I'm currently under a funding ban secretly decided (by who?) based on a
false accusation, without providing any evidence. Until now I'm waiting
for
an explanation from the WMF. So, this sort of
attitude doesn't surprise
me
at all.
It is very unfortunate that the WMF apparently thrives in this kind of
medieval obscurity, the opposite of the values of the Wikimedia Movement.
Matter for Roles & Reponsibilities.

Thanks for this.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one dismayed by the unilateralism and
lack of transparency.
