The Report on Lengthy Litigation

In a private discussion and vote during the past week, the Committee blocked Chergles as a sockpuppet of a banned user. They also announced their current agenda. Major changes from the previous agenda include: integrating several previous points into the overhaul of the Arbitration Policy — the release date for which has been delayed. They also intend to focus on creating a ban appeal process, as reviewing bans is "preventing the Committee from dealing with other matters".

The Arbitration Committee opened two cases and closed one during the past week, leaving seven cases open.
