discourse as bibliographic references are on paper.
If the matter is serious enough that open discussion is inappropriate,
information regarding the link can be emailed to the arbitration
committee and we can make a decision without there being public discussion.
If the matter is so sensitive that open discussion is inappropriate,
*all* information about the matter (links and otherwise) will
necessarily be traveling via email or some other non-open channel,
so no special policy for links in such matters should be necessary.
