[WikiEN-l] Re: Arbitrator recusal

[Fred Bauder]

Our current policy encourages involvement by anyone at the /Workshop  
level of arbitration cases, considering and commenting on evidence,  
advancing proposed principles, findings of facts or remedies and  
commenting on them. Work at that level will both advance the current  
arbitration cases and serve as a vehicle for demonstrating your  
ability to do the work of an arbitrator while giving the community a  
chance to evaluate your work.
