And there is, in German Wikipedia, no arbcom at all. Bans are voted upon directly.
There is no simple right way to do this, and the history and processes of each community are going to vary slightly for a number of perfectly valid reasons.

Methods used here might appear strange there, but if they work... that is good :-)
