hi Fae,
fair enough, but clearly the Board could decide to delegate the oversight
privilege in these cases to community-elected members.

Dariusz, keep in mind that not all of the
"functionaries of high
trust" you give as examples in your email are elected officials, or if
elected have not been elected through a cross-project vote of active
contributors. The WMF board has a voting majority that is *not elected
by us*.
If there is to be a selected governance mechanism to oversee the
procedures for the exercise of WMF global bans (or whatever they get
called) which may have the power to commute these to a community run
global ban, with the benefit of potential appeal and reform, then that
governance board needs to be credibly elected by the community.
Unelected officials should be welcome as advisers but not controlling
members with a power of veto.

may be e.g. involving the
community and the foundation in lengthy legal disputes, or endanger a

community, may have a need to externally confirm the solidity of
reasoning
behind bans. I think we already have
functionaries of high trust (such as
the Board and/or the stewards) who could oversee the process.
