Yeah, maybe that's an answer. It is a volunteer job, after all.  But
to hear that they're voted in in January, and some have been on
vacation (whatever the phrase was) since January, and only two ArbCom
members write the proposed decisions says there is more wrong than
right at this point with the committe as a whole.  It's no wonder
decisions are not being made, people are complaining about too much
time to get decisions, and ArbCom members are burnt out.  If you have
a job that requires a dozen people being performed by 2, it gets
tiresome, and it doesn't get done on time or very well.
