TL;DR: - The email is written "on behalf of the top-level team leads, the new mods, the project directors to the Foundation, and the core team" - The same group is currently trying to handle the problem in private - The nature of the problem is a disagreement between the old moderation team and core team about an undisclosed moderation issue where the mods believed that the core team had a conflict of interest - The general plan is to work out a set of rules that would cover this specific disagreement My take: it will help to separate the specific disagreement from the general rules. The general rules can then be discussed in the open. The private discussion should be reserved to the details of applying these new rules to that specific disagreement.
