I don't understand what you mean here. Are you saying that in your proposal, only people who are currently Arbitrators can be elected as Arbitrators at the year end elections? Or that only current Arbitrators can vote in the year end elections (election by peers, so to speak)?
From the reference in the last part to "apply[ing] for adminship", I
assumed that he meant to write:
"Only Wikipedians on the English Wikipedia that are _Administrators_ as at 30 November are eligible for the year end elections..."
