Hi Paulo,
This is an excellent question. I am curious to find out that too.
Best, Kiril

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

I'm not familiar with this specific situation, but I agree that more 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,
