I can see that Steward Mehman97 mentioned his position as a member of AffCom, but also stated that he was not speaking or presumably acting on behalf of AffCom. He was clearly invoking some sort of perceived additional authority as <i>being</i> a member of AffCom, which is strange, because, as you say, AffCom, as I understand it, basically has the authority to recognize Wikipedia "clubs" as official affiliates, and nothing more. Being a Steward, he already had the full authority to take action in a rogue admin situation, and his AffCom membership would have been irrelevant. There was no reason to invoke his AffCom membership, and I'm not sure why he did. It does seem that he was not acting as a representative of AffCom itself, merely implying that part of his authority stemmed from being an AffCom member. Strange indeed. I suppose the notion comes from the fact that AffCom is an extension of the WMF Board. Still, I'm happy he took action. <a href="/wiki/User:Swarm" title="User:Swarm"><span style="color:black"><b>~Swarm~</b></span></a> <sup><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Swarm" title="User talk:Swarm"><span style="color:DarkViolet">{sting}</span></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2020-03-29/News_and_notes#c-Swarm-2020-03-30T06:17:00.000Z-Ymblanter-2020-03-30T05:41:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:17, 30 March 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Swarm-2020-03-30T06:17:00.000Z-Ymblanter-2020-03-30T05:41:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Swarm-2020-03-30T06:17:00.000Z-Ymblanter-2020-03-30T05:41:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Fox-2020-03-30T06:32:00.000Z-Swarm-2020-03-30T06:17:00.000Z"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Swarm" title="User:Swarm">Swarm</a>:</span> For the record, <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mehman97" class="extiw" title="m:User:Mehman97">Mehman97</a> is not a Steward.

First of all, to say that the role of the Affiliation committee is 0, I didn't act on behalf of AffCom and in general AffCom is not involved in this case. I mentioned AffCom for the reason that it is more recognizable (than for example Wikimedia UG Georgia, where I'm Chairman) for everyone, and with this I wanted to explain my interest in the matter. I think that we, the committee members have a social responsibility to help communities and people in problem situations, what I do. As a mediator, I wanted to peacefully solve the problem of blocking Farhad, but unfortunately the administrator didn't listen to my calls and ended as it is now. So, there’s nothing to do with AffCom and it’s not necessary to connect it with my actions as some kind of interested party.
