Maybe the arb com needs to be thinking harder about how to improve
arbcom.  Would it be out of the arbcom's jurisdiction to establish
groups of people to help them out? Couldn't they say "X, Y, and Z are
beurocrats who, if the three of them agree, can temporarily de-admin a
user; the arbcom reserves the power to overrule any decision they
make"?
