I'm continuing to think about the WMF Board's handling of this matter, but I am experiencing considerable difficulty with wording my comments in a way that is diplomatic. Hopefully I'll have further comments to share here next week. In the meantime, and perhaps of greater interest to other participants in this mailing list thread:
* Discussion about related issues continues on English Wikipedia at [1 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_response_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation%27s_ban_of_Fram>], [2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Community_response_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation%27s_ban_of_Fram>], [3 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Katherine_(WMF)>], and elsewhere. * Arbcom has passed a related motion <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Reversion_of_office_actions#6)_Reversion_of_office_actions_(II)>, and there is a related case that is under consideration but might be declined <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Disputed_Signpost_article>. (Disclosure: I made a statement in the latter case, and also participated in the related discussion at ANI). * The English Wikipedia page that describes WMF Office actions <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Office_actions> has been changed <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AOffice_actions&type=revision&diff=903709635&oldid=902584562>, including being changed to communicate that it describes a WMF policy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Office_actions> and not an English Wikipedia community policy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines>. There may be further changes to that page; some related discussion may be found on the associated talk page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Office_actions>.
