Hi everyone.
The arbitration committee has "completed" its guidelines at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_policy . "Completed" in quotes because while everything that needs to be covered for us to function probably is covered in one way or another, everything is still subject to change, and everything will likely be tweaked as we deal with more cases, gain experience and whatnot.
If any of you plebs, I mean *non-abritrators*, want to look them over, suggest changes, tell us we're idiots or whatever, then please do so (preferably on the talk page). Then we'll have a simple yes or no vote which everybody on the Wikipedia can take part in as to whether to accept the guidelines or not (bearing in mind they're always subject to change), and if the vote is yes and Jimbo doesn't object in any way, then we'll be fully functioning (ie, not needing Jimbo to refer cases to us) and ready to ban people willy-nilly (that's what we're for, right?).

Not a moment too soon, but just in the nick of time!

Is there a good word for this? A word meaning that the subject has been covered completely, but changes are still sought/appropriate/etc. This concept seems to come up all the time in wiki-space, but no one seems to have the word for it. It would be useful over on Wikibooks to label books which have achieved this status (green - see [[Wikibooks:Main Page]]).
