Well, why not ask? Jimbo is actually doing what he has adverted to over the years, getting out of the operational matters. Doesn't mean he's out of circulation. I actually mentioned appointments after the summer to him, earlier in the year. The whole slowdown business is entirely predictable to those who grok the AC's work.
By all means ask him, but I really can't see him making unilateral appointments to ArbCom.
You are pre-judging the issue on the one outcome that would make an immediate difference.
You seem to be talking as though AC not working is perfectly acceptable just because it's predictable and has happened before. That's complete nonsense. If it's predictable, it means there is no excuse for not fixing it.
In some circles this is called "shooting the messenger". I tend to feel that posting to wikien could be an effective way to communicate my views, and by that I hope to promote informed discussion. There are however other things I could be doing. I'll go back to one of them now.
