[Wikinews-l] WN Arbcom elections

Hey Guys, en Wikinews Arbcom midterm elections are next month, Thunderhead has began the process of organising them. < http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Arbitration_Committee/Elections_July_2… 3 seats are up for election; these include expiring terms of committee members Chiacomo <http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Chiacomo>, Ilya Haykinson<http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:IlyaHaykinson>on>, and the seat left vacant when Messedrocker<http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Messedrocker>resigned from the committee. The Arbitration Committee members elected will tentatively serve through July 31, 2008, however, there is talk, left over from last election, about extending terms to 2 years (from the current one year term). Like last time in order to vote, you need to have been an active user on Wikinews for more than a month, and you must have at least 200 edits in the Main namespace. The election will be held from July 18, 2007, 20:00 UTC to July 31, 2007, 20:00 UTC, nominations start at 22:00, 11 July 2007. Cheers, Brian NZ
