As a global community body, they will not investigate compliance with a requirement imposed by local community policies additionally to the requirements of global policy. They can investigate whether the terms of local CheckUser or Oversight policies or guidelines comply with the global CheckUser and Oversight policies. Local policies are permitted to go further than global policy in protecting user privacy, but not to opt out of global policy in any way.

The Commission are not an appeal body for local or global administrative actions, such as blocks, locks, and bans. Where those have been based on checkuser or oversight information, the initial checkuser or oversight action can be investigated, but the subsequent block or other result should be referred to other global or local bodies.

Submission

Aanfroore aan Ombudsmänner määt mer övver di Addräß vun de e-mail:

To use the form, access this link: Special:Contact/ombudscommission
To write an email, access this link: Special:EmailUser/Ombuds commission

Both ways will send message directly to OC mailing list.

Please follow these guidelines when submitting an inquiry to the commission:

Be concise: Lengthy emails with unnecessary information make it harder for the commission to process the case in a timely manner.
Be objective: Avoid making inquiries based on speculations or subjective judgements.
Provide evidence: Please provide us with diff links and/or permanent links when possible.
Be specific: Specify what part of which policy has been violated.
Please inform us if your wiki has an Arbitration Committee (or a similar committee) and if you have reached them (or used other dispute resolution procedure customary to your community) before reaching the ombuds commission. Provide a link to the relevant case page if appropriate.

Processing/Reporting

Cases brought to our attention will be processed the following way:

Confirmation of the request: We will send a notice of confirmation to the requester, and if necessary ask for further information.
Scope: If the request is within the scope of the ombuds commission, we will do the investigation, if not we will decline the request and try to direct the complainant to a better place to get help for their individual problem.
Investigation: We do whatever is necessary to find out whether or not there was a breach of the policies or a non-compliance or conflict of local policies with the global ones.
Result: We give the result of our investigation to the requester, and if there was indeed a breach of the privacy policy, we will inform the user who was investigated and if necessary inform the Board of Trustees and if necessary recommend removing OS, CU or steward rights from the user breaking the policy.
