This is incompatible with him remaining chair and for that matter a
board member.
No it isn't in any legalistic sense. It is also not "incompatible"
with Fæ getting on with serious work for the chapter while the enWP
situation, involving a high degree of mischief-making, calms down.
To try to make the point concisely: ArbCom makes judgements of this
kind, "what, all considered, is the best thing to do about this
mess/wrangle/farrago we have been asked to sort out?" Quarrels gets
dumped in its lap, and it has to make a call about where next. To take
its remit, which is solely about enWP, to be wider, is a sort of
mistake of reading too much in.
