Hello Todd,
The notice was sent by Asaf on behalf of the list administrators. That is,
he only communicated the decision of the list administrators and may not
have directly participated in the discussion that resulted in the decision
to moderate Dan.
I am not sure this mailing list administration is part of his JD at the WMF.
AFAIK, he's doing this as a volunteer and not as a WMF's Staffer. The same
way a WMF staffer may be an administrator on Wikimedia projects.
Regards
Isaac

Erm, wait. He said what, "fart"?
It's not a particularly good look for a WMF employee to be moderating
someone critiquing the WMF, especially when, while their statement may have
been strongly worded, it used pretty mild language. This should either be
undone, or at least decided upon by someone who doesn't work for WMF.
That's a substantial conflict of interest.

Dear Wikimedians,
List subscriber Dan Szymborski has been placed under moderation, due to
posts with unacceptable language.
I remind everyone that criticism is appropriate and welcome on this list,
so long as it remains civil and respectful of the people involved.
Asaf (volunteer capacity)
on behalf of Wikimedia-l list moderators
