Cross posting from the "old" discussion by Hillgentleman:
I have a question:
There exists mechanisms that deal with the problems that the arbitration committee may face. Anybody can request for comments, or even more informally, start a page on meta and invite discussions.
Meta-arbitration is an interesting concept. But it has inherent un-wikiness. As it has potential influence wider than that of the stewards, and even close to that of the trustees, its legitimacy should be proportional or related to participation.
I have two basic questions. 1. Would this meta-arbitration committee's jurisdiction cover a project which had decided not to participate?
2. Would the meta-arbitration committee accept a case *within* one project brought on by someone who has hardly participate in that project, or otherwise clearly is not a community member?

The only issue is that most of all of the projects /lack/ an arbcom or oversight body, sans administrators. Saying "ArbCom will serve as the body" is basically saying "let the main projects lead." Not the best idea, IMHO. Two two positions should be mutually exclusive. Although one might serve in both capacities, they do so as two different things, not as "ArbCom on MetaCom."
Just my 0.02USD.

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.
