_slow down_ the process but rather _speed up_ the process. Adding
members without changing the necessary quorum seems reasonable.
One of the changes that I think we'll be seeing is the use of a group
of clerks to both take care of the administrative issues of running
the ArbCom (thereby freeing the Arbitrators to actually arbitrate) and
also to remind the Arbitrators that they have work to do. The clerks
will be monitoring case progress and poking the Arbitrators when cases
appear to be going stale. It's hoped that these changes will help
keep the Arbitrators focused on task and get cases processed faster.
