Oh no -- it's the 'One Crown or Several?' debate all over again -- this time in the context of Wikipedia.

Other than the need for a friendly developer
is there a reason why we

The ArbCom's power comes entirely from the
willingness of the admins
and the community in general to implement the
decisions it comes up
with. If we're willing to forgo the use of the
formal voting
software, there's nothing stopping the community
from running its own
ArbCom election.

Umm, the ArbCom's power comes from Jimbo as
President of the Wikimedia
Foundation. The "community" can run its own
election if it wants, but
Jimbo and the board choose how to spend the funds
of the foundation
and how to administer the property of the
foundation (such as the
servers).
However servers and fundraiseing are not the concern of arbcom.
