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_20...

3 seats are up for election; these include expiring terms of committee members Chiacomo http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Chiacomo, Ilya Haykinsonhttp://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:IlyaHaykinson, and the seat left vacant when Messedrockerhttp://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Messedrockerresigned 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
