Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/June 2008 announcements/Appeals Review List

Following a June announcement by the Arbitration Committee, a new Appeals Review Committee (or List, or Panel - styling to be decided) is created, subordinate to and supervized by the Arbitration Committee.

The remit of the committee/list is to assist the Arbitration Committee in carrying out its role as "route of last resort" for users who are appealing a ban, users who were banned and wish to return, and allegations of misconduct by administrators ("admin abuse") which are also not infrequent in terms of appeals.

The styling (whether as a committee, list, panel, group, or the like) and a number of process-related matters will be finalized shortly.
