Following up on this:
If the new slates take effect on Jan 1, and new arbs aren't necessarily considered active on current cases from 2007, what happens on Jan 1 to former arbs involved in still active cases? Especially where they voted to accept a particular case, voted at [[WP:RFAR/proposed decision]], etc.? Presumably, these cases will lack a quorum to make a decision if new arbs don't join?
What would make sense would be for the retiring arbiters to continue participating in cases where they are already participating until tha cases are decided. They just would not be able to get inolved in new ones.
