The archives of the arbcom-l mailing list are seldom consulted, so could probably be disposed of after a month or two. We need space where we can talk candidly about real or imagined problems. That's how we sort out the real from the imaginary.
Does it need to be archived at all?
Should be, for legal reasons. When you're dealing with publicly accusing people of wrongdoing and banning them from a website I think it'd be important to have details of any conversations leading to that decision. Whether or not anyone other than an agent of the foundation should have access to the archive is a separate question, though. (Whether or not anyone other than an agent of the foundation should be on the arb com in the first place is yet another).
Oh yeah, and whether or not the arb com should publicly announce negative "findings of fact" about living people is yet another.
