To fill vacancies that have arisen, I am appointing the following people to the English arbitration committee:
Mindspillage (Kat Walsh) and Kelly Martin (karynn in irc)
They come highly recommended and will be great. :-)
I'm also appointing JamesF as the Chief Research Officer. He's fantabulous of course.
In the next few days I will be putting forward a new election process for the arbcom which I hope will deal, in some small way at least, with the unpleasantness of last year's process.

Hey Jimbo,
Could you explain your rationale for appointing the new Arbitration Committee members, both now and in July, rather than organising special elections as was done when the two original members resigned in July 2004?

As for now, I think he believes that there's no point to bother when there's only two months left until the elections. However, July may have been a good time to hold an 'interim election'

Indeed, there are no better choices! Good selection by Jimbo and, well, good luck to Kat and Kelly...

My only interaction with Kelly Martin was when she unilaterally deleted a couple of pages from my user space without even consulting me beforehand. I believe she mentioned something in the deletion reason about one of the images being a copyright violation, which isn't true, the image was GFDL, and in any case that doesn't explain the need to delete the page which points to the image as well as the talk page for it.
