Amir, yes, ArbCom members must sign the WMF confidentiality agreement for
nonpublic information (
)
, as must all functionaries (checkuser, oversight, etc.). I was on the
English Wikipedia ArbCom for two years, and it was routine for us to deal
with sensitive, private information.

People who oppose the ban: Are you aware of all
aspects and things Fram has
done? Do you have the full picture? It's really saddening to see how fast
people jump to conclusion in page mentioned in the email. I personally,
don't know what happened so I neither can support or oppose the ban. As
simple as that.
So what should be done IMO. If enwiki wants to know more, a community body
can ask for more information, if body satisfy two things:
- They had signed NDA not to disclose the case
- They are trusted by the community
I think the only body can sorta work with this is stewards but not sure
(Does ArbCom NDA'ed?)

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.
