Actually, I'm not familiar with this specific situation as well, apart from
having been informed by my affiliate that WMF had informed it I was under
some sanction that probably I was unaware of, related to affiliates I was
not part of and episotes I do not took part.
This is an outraging, appalling and unbelievable behavior from the
Wikimedia Foundation in general, and AffCom in particular. I really would
like to get to the bottom of this, and more than have it reverted, I
actually want to know who planted the false information about me there
which led to this situation.
I hope there is some way to effectively and officially demand and internal
inquiry inside the Wikimedia Foundation over this situation.
Best,
Paulo

transparency and accountability would be good.

Hello,
A few days ago the Wikimedia affiliate I belong to was officially
informed,
by a WMF source, that I'm being subject to a
until now unknown sanction,
with an accusation from AffCom I can only describe as baseless and
fraudulent, relating to a a situation between two affiliates, dealt with
by
AffCom more than one year ago, of which I was
never part of, occurred
more
than one year ago. I was never informed of this.
This is not the first time AffCom engages in this sort of appalling
behavior. As far as I know, WMPT is still waiting for the accusations
made
by AffCom last year, which led to its suspension,
to be substantiated.
AffCom never substantiated anything related to that, with the excuse of a
need for secrecy.
How, I ask you all as members of the Movement, how come the Wikimedia
Movement allowed for such a secretive, arbitrary, apparently unchecked
and
very much powerful institution to grow and thrive
like this in its
middle,
overseeing and effectively controlling the
relation of all of us (both
affiliates and individuals) and the WMF?
More important than that, what can be done about this? Where one can
appeal
to, when presented with such fraudulent,
baseless, secretive,
unsubstantiated accusations by a body which was supposed to be above all
suspicion?
Can an internal inquiry be demanded somewhere at the Wikimedia Foundation
over the activities and decisions of AffCom, in the same way we do with
suspicious activity by checkusers and supervisors, with the Ombudsman
Commission?
Looking forward for any help and insight on this,
