yes, notice crickets on talk page
you could be dismissive of the questions as the usual "gender gap cabal", but when andrew lih says that is the perception of the culture among library professionals, and it needs to change, you would think good faith arbs would sit up and take notice.
but as DGG says: "I hate to disillusion you, but not only is arb com very unlikely to eve[n] initiate anything, but it will not even commit itself to support anything"

I've been out of touch with the world for most of the last week, but I'm extremely disappointed to see the only active arbitrator to comment on that discussion so far just asked for a tl;dr when given a two hour long video of free advice from a leading expert in online harassment issues. Almost every case arb takes deals with harassment in one form or another - given the time they spend discussing trivialities, let alone drafting cases and on private lists, I would hope that no arbitrator (none of the sitting ones have formal training in dealing with online harrassment, AFAIK, although I may be missing someone) would refuse to spend a much smaller amount of time hearing one of the top experts n the subject talk about it. If you can't accept a two hour time committment, you probably shouldn't be an arb.

Folks may be interested in watching the Q&A session at the recent WikiConference USA where gender and harassment was discussed for about 45 minutes.[1] It makes for an interesting summary of how Arbcom is perceived with regard to handling harassment cases, and the types of harassment of significant concern for our community.
This has been raised on the Arbcom noticeboard[2], it will be interesting to see how many current Arbcom members make a public comment, or indeed if they are perfectly happy with the way Arbcom currently works, or not.
