Although much of my original email to Arbcom about this situation is outdated, I can report that Arbcom is having a look at this situation. I don't think there is any action needed on their part at the moment. I am only relaying my personal views and not speaking on their behalf.
While we wait for further answers and documentation about this issue, I hope those who have some spare time will look at the proposed Annual Plan for the next fiscal year. I am glad WMF is providing good opportunities for community and public input.
