So what's the months-long procedure to get rid of a committee member? Where are the pages of rules on how to go about doing it and the fifty or so steps required?

As far as I can tell, the current process is "elections once per year", presumably with intervention by Jimbo for egregious problems that arise in the interim. All subject to modification of course.

I'd have to dig it up, but yes that's about right. I believe that the terms are staggered.

I expect there to be a wide range of temperments among the arbitration committee members -- in fact, that's part of how I selected who would be on arbitration versus mediation, i.e. an attempt to balance both with people who I view as "more" and "less" likely to want to ban people.

Starting with the first elections (December), I wonder how the process might change. But outside of something completely egregious, I'm obviously not about to start kicking people off of committees just for arguing about policy.

I do fervently hope, though, that further arguments about policy will come with a bit more love than this one has had to date.
