If I overlooked anyone in my appointments, don't be insulted and don't hesitate to ask about it. It was unintentional. I tried to appoint everyone who volunteered. Anyone who is left over and would still like to be appointed will be appointed to mediation.
Oh, there's one exception. Alex R. volunteered, but what he wrote made it sound more like he's volunteered to act as a "public defender" for anyone who is facing the arbitration committee's judgment (i.e. a possible ban). So I took that to mean that he's volunteering to be part of the overall process, but that role is actually different from either mediation or arbitration, and so of course if he wants to offer to anyone who needs it, that's great.

I volunteer but have not been appointed. Is there something we need to talk about?

Are you sure? You're on my piece of paper here as being on the arbitration list.

That is right Jimmy and considering the other things I am doing around here it looks more like I am a de facto member of the Wikimedia legal affairs department, and it might get confusing if I put on too many hats. If there is anyway I can help anyone faced with all this power that building up and it is alright with you (and I guess the rest of the board once they come on line) I'd rather just be in the wings willing to help buffer someone who might have difficulty dealing with a difficult situation (as long as it does not get me into an unwaivable conflict of interest situation where I would have to withdraw from helping Wikimedia and any member facing discipline of one or another sort).
