Thanks Mike.
Could I suggest that an email is also sent to all members on the
Wikimedia UK membership database?

Hi all,
I'm sending this statement on behalf of the WMUK Board:
--
As some members of Wikimedia UK will know, our Chair, Ashley Van Haeften,
user name Fae, has been the subject of sanctions by the Arbitration
Committee of the English Wikipedia (Arbcom), the volunteer committee that
exists to provide binding remedies to Wikipedia disputes. In particular,
he has been banned from editing the English language Wikipedia for at
least the next six months, after which he can appeal the ban.
The Board of Wikimedia UK notes the decision of Arbcom.
The Board is united in the view that this decision does not affect his
role as a Trustee of the charity. His work at Wikimedia UK has always been
enthusiastic and diligent. In particular, his knowledge of charity
governance, and his ability to bring about consensus at WMUK's board
meetings, have been particularly valuable.
The Board points out that the editing issues were fully public before, and
during, the recent elections to the board, and were openly and publicly
discussed. Our membership placed their trust in him by electing him as a
Trustee. He was then elected unanimously as Chair of the Board. He
continues to have the full support of the Board.

Thanks,
Mike Peel
Secretary, Wikimedia UK
