Didn't take long, did it? Are new ArbCom members eligible to participate as such in cases filed today?

The way the transition has been done in the past is that new arbitrators are able to become active on any open cases, on what I suppose you would call an opt-out basis. -- Stephen Bain stephen.bain(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

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? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
