Thank you WMBE for your long report.
I was at Wikimania 2018 and I was deeply troubled by the actions taken by
the Trust & Safety team. I now have a much clearer understanding of what
went on, and I feel that there really needs to be some introspection done
by the Trust & Safety team.
I am also quite horrified by your quote about a comment "that Wikimedia
France and Wikimedia
Netherlands could take everything over in Belgium".
This is really so insesitive and displays such ignorance of the different
European cultures that I just cannot understand why the record has not been
set right. Belgium cannot be split up between France and the Netherlands,
just like Switzerland cannot be split up between France, Germany and Italy
(leaving just the little Romansh speaking area to fend for itself).
Seriously, something is wrong at the Foundation, and this needs to be fixed.

Hello,
It seems to me the best that a (different) member of the WMBE board
contacts a suitable person at WMF. A public list is not the best place
for sorting these things out.
Kind regards
Ziko

In other words, the best way to ban anyone from
any event is to start a
rumour about them?
My understanding is that noone was banned from an event.

I've read and reread the WMBE message, and
have not found anything near
"pushing people who felt harassed or mistreated
to step forward".
I'm referring to message from Caroline.
I also do not understand why you're addressing WMBE as "Romaine"
(begging the question?).
Can you please clarify?
The message was sent from romaine.wiki(a)gmail.com<mailtolto:
romaine.wiki(a)gmail.com> account and I assumed that addressing the sender
as "Romaine" is appropriate.
best,
