I think that there needs to be a balance between the privacy and
transparency in the process.

In another community I participate in, when a member doesn't meet the
requirements for membership and is formally investigated for that
failure - a concise and factual e-mail is sent to the rest of the
community so that we understand why they have left. The statements are
never defamatory - usually something like 'Following a complaint about
y, Foo failed to meet requirement x, and since they did not respond to
our concerns or correct this issue within the time given, they have been
removed.'

I've noticed that a LIR and PI assignment I complained about earlier in
the year have disappeared. I can't be sure that it's one of those, but
I'm assuming that it is. The LIR seemed to exist only to provide a
single PI assignment to a company that didn't exist, and the allocation
was being used for abuse.

If I can confirm with you that my report was related to one of these
cases, would it be useful for me to give an account of my experience here?
