[Foundation-l] WN Arbcom elections

[Brian Anderton]

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_2007>


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>,
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
