I have already posted what I think about the
general question:
 (1) In the view of the list monitors, holding an
 office does /not/ generally release the poster from
 the posting limit.
 (2) However, postings made as part of the duties of
 office will not be counted towards the posting limit.
 Such postings may *for example* include:
 -- announcements regarding nominations, votes or
    voting results,
 -- announcements regarding the publication of
    documents,
 -- announcements regarding the status and results
    of task forces or working groups,
 -- announcements regarding the monitoring of posts,
    suspension of voting rights or overturning of
    suspensions, or
 -- explanations and reminders regarding administrative
    issues such as the status of motions.
 This list shall illustrate that such excluded postings
 should be predominantly factual statements to the GA
 members. Postings stating solely personal opinions
 are not excluded from the posting limit.
 (3) The poster should make it clear that the posting
 is intended to be official (e.g. in the subject line
 or signature or by using a different sender name).

I think the two posts are legitimate "official postings",
even though the second is rather on the border between
explanation/reminder and his own personal opinion and
maybe not a good model for what official postings are
there for.
