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.
Best,
Paulo

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

The only non-response excuse from the WMF [2] was that "local
communities
consistently struggle to uphold not just their own autonomous
rules but the Terms of Use, too.” even though there were no complaints
on-wiki nor to Arbcom privately.

I did send email to Fram earlier today asking if they had any public
comment, no reply as yet.
