Well, to my memory, we never discussed the arbcom elections at a board 
level. It is not listed in any board meeting minutes afaik. It is not 
mentionned in any resolutions passed by the board.

As far as I am concerned, the board was never involved.

It is not a board issue.

I'll be happy to ask the board if you are interested. I know I was not 
involved in the past years and I have no reason to get involved this 
year. I am totally convinced Tim will not see that as a board issue. 
Likely, Michael will not either. That makes a majority of us.

But I'll be glad to hear from Jimbo and Erik whether they consider 
english wikipedia arbcom elections being a board issue.

We'll be waiting for Erik and Jimbo comment.

You should ask Brion or Tim for this.
