The arbitration committee have recently disclosed that the resignation of Alex Shih from the committee and from his CU and OS permissions was a direct consequence of inappropriate discloses of private information in breach of the WMF's privacy policy, and therefore considered to be "under a cloud" ([[Special:Diff/882087107|diff]]). Members of the committee have stated that the situation doesn't fit the cases where the committee may desysop ''sua sponte'' ([[Special:Diff/882179855|diff]]), but owing to the nature of the violations the community lacks the information to determinate whether Alex should retain the trust of the community. Alex is now known to have lied about his reasons for resignation, both at the time ([[Special:Diff/858105186|diff]]) and during his recent self-nomination in the Stewards' elections ([[m:Special:Diff/18845413|diff]]). We consider this evidence of untrustworthiness, but each have our own view on the significance of this breach of trust. |

In responding to this resignation, editors have argued both that the nature of the violations necessarily imply a loss of trustworthiness that is incompatible with access to the tools, and that the violations were related specifically to permissions that Alex has already resigned and that the administrator tools had not been abused. |

We therefore request that the committee review the information available to it, both public and private, in relation to Alex's resignation and consider whether his actions, both as a Checkuser and during his resignation, were compatible with the expectations to which administrators are held, specifically as at [[WP:ADMINACCT]] and [[WP:ADMINCOND]]. We make this request without the assumption that Alex Shih must be desysopped. If the expectations of administrator conduct have been violated to the extent that a desysop is necessary, only ARMBCOM is able to evaluate and act upon this; if those expectations have not been violated to that extent, then only a finding to that effect from ARBCOM will enable Alex to resume his normal activities as an administrator. |

Statement by GoldenRing
The arbitration committee have recently disclosed that the resignation of Alex Shih from the committee and from his CU and OS permissions was a direct consequence of inappropriate discloses of private information in breach of the WMF's privacy policy, and therefore considered to be "under a cloud" (diff). Members of the committee have stated that the situation doesn't fit the cases where the committee may desysop sua sponte (diff), but owing to the nature of the violations the community lacks the information to determinate whether Alex should retain the trust of the community. Alex is now known to have lied about his reasons for resignation, both at the time (diff) and during his recent self-nomination in the Stewards' elections (diff). We consider this evidence of untrustworthiness, but each have our own view on the significance of this breach of trust.
In responding to this resignation, editors have argued both that the nature of the violations necessarily imply a loss of trustworthiness that is incompatible with access to the tools, and that the violations were related specifically to permissions that Alex has already resigned and that the administrator tools had not been abused.
We therefore request that the committee review the information available to it, both public and private, in relation to Alex's resignation and consider whether his actions, both as a Checkuser and during his resignation, were compatible with the expectations to which administrators are held, specifically as at WP:ADMINACCT and WP:ADMINCOND. We make this request without the assumption that Alex Shih must be desysopped. If the expectations of administrator conduct have been violated to the extent that a desysop is necessary, only ARMBCOM is able to evaluate and act upon this; if those expectations have not been violated to that extent, then only a finding to that effect from ARBCOM will enable Alex to resume his normal activities as an administrator.
The above request has been prepared, and is submitted jointly, by GoldenRing, Vanamonde93 and Boing! said Zebedee. I (GoldenRing) will notify all those I have listed as parties, but will allow Vanamonde93 and Boing! said Zebedee to co-sign this request in place of the usual diff of notification (which they have agreed privately to do). I will say personally that I am sad to have to file this request, as I have always previously held Alex in high regard, but that I do feel there are issues of trust that need to be explored and resolved here. My co-signers have their own space below to add their own personal notes.
