Every year in November and December, the community conducts an election to determine which editors should become members of the Arbitration Committee. In September, before the election procedures begin, it has become customary to hold a pre-election request for comment (RfC) to provide the community an opportunity to amend the structure, rules, and procedures of that year's Arbitration Committee election. This RfC usually runs from September 1 to September 30.
