[WikiEN-l] Arbcom

[Thomas Dalton]

Another idea to help smooth out arbcom cases: Separate discussion of
principles and facts from discussion of remedies. It stands to reason
that principles and facts must be determined before remedies can be
discussed, so making this more explicit might help. Once sufficient
arbiters have voted on each point for the majority to be determined,
and no new points have been added for 3 days (say), the principles and
facts sections are closed the case moves into the "sentencing stage"
(this could be done sooner with a Motion to Close if sufficient
arbiters agree). I'm not sure if this would actually speed things up
at all, but it would make it clearer that progress is being made.

(Of course, if the remedies don't take a significant amount of the
time, this would be pointless - I'm not sure quite sure where cases
are stalling.)
