Our current policy encourages involvement by anyone at the /Workshop level of arbitration cases, considering and commenting on evidence, advancing proposed principles, findings of facts or remedies and commenting on them. Work at that level will both advance the current arbitration cases and serve as a vehicle for demonstrating your ability to do the work of an arbitrator while giving the community a chance to evaluate your work.

However, I maintain that we could benefit greatly from developing a group of temporary arbitrators, or magistrates, for the purpose of reducing the workload, filling in for recusals, and allowing cases to be handled by smaller panels. It would also get us out of the dilemma we currently have, between elections where we as a community make guesses about who's qualified and will actually do the work, or having Jimbo appoint everyone based on his own guesses and the advice of those he trusts.
