A major disadvantage there is the fact that none of the stewards have been elected because of their skills as potential arbitrators - as far as I can see, these tasks are very different, so a good steward might well be a crappy arbitrator. (But then again, one would of course be willing to arbitrate, and to be willing one should have some - at least perceived - skill, so this problem could solve itself.)

I was thinking of a combination of stewards and members from elected ArbComs.
Having a blend might work best. Keep some connection to the local community as well as meta.
Maybe the steward members would be permanent and the ArbCom members would serve as a pool that could be called to work on a particular case.
I think we can think creatively to come up with a formula that best serves the needs of the Foundation and the Community.

Why couldnt the stewards serve as the basis of this meta-arbcom. They were elected, and they represent diverse projects.
