[Foundation-l] Fwd: Wikimedia-wide global blocking mechanism?

[effe iets anders]

or we just agree that it will only be used for IP's (and if I'd have
to say it, only for short terms, so that overriding would not be a big
issue too. ) If we agree on that, I think we should be able to trust
the stewards to adhere to that, and there would be no need to also
make sure it is not technically possible.
