We could lower the vote threshold for temp injunctions. My original idea was to use the same criteria we use to open and close cases - just 4 yes votes needed.
That's a *very* good idea. What do we do to change ArbCom powers in this manner?
The ArbCom reserves the right to make minor changes to Arbitration Policy.
See "All of the following guidelines are subject to change." at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_policy
and "The Arbitration Policy may be tweaked as the Committee gains experience and learns better ways of doing things" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_policy_ratification_vote#...
The vote threshold needed in the ArbCom to make minor changes has not been specified so, IMO, consensus (>75% of active ArbCom members) would be needed to make this happen.
