I deliberately put aside the debate on which notice should be used. I have my own point of view about this, but I don't have the time to split hairs.
On en wikipedia that is one page vs 5,503,662. Pretty big hair
This said, I don't really understand how you can compare the Board election and the ArbCom one.
Only elections we have that were advertised through MediaWiki:Watchdetails (and Signpost and general community chatter)
We are talking about completely different positions. Being an arbitrator has nothing to do with being a Board member, so comparing the number of candidacies of these two elections seems completely irrelevant to me.
Not completely irrelivant. So far the general approach I'm seeing is "the notice will go in MediaWiki:Sitenotice if you disagree we will ignore you" which is unhelpful. Thus anything that might get discusion going is worth a try.
