Status as of 05:25 (UTC), Sunday, 3 November 2024 ()
- Thank you for participating in the 2021 Arbitration Committee Elections. The certified results have been posted.
- You are invited to leave feedback on the election process.
The purpose of this request for comment is to provide an opportunity to amend the structure, rules, and procedures of the December 2021 English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee election and resolve any issues not covered by existing rules. 00:36, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
Background: In the case of proposals that change existing rules, or that seek to establish new ones, lack of consensus for a change will result in the rules from the prior elections remaining in force. Some issues are not covered by the existing rules but will need to be decided one way or another for the operation of the election, in those cases it will be up to the closer to figure out a result, even if there is no clear consensus, as they have had to in the past.
Structure: This RfC is divided into portions, each of which contains a discussion point for the community. The points will be listed in the table of contents below. Anyone is free to raise any new topics that they feel need to be addressed by filling out the format template below.
Duration: In order to preserve the timeline of the election (see above), we should aim to close this RfC as soon as 30 days have passed, i.e. on or after September 30, 2021. The results will determine the structure, rules, and procedures for the election.
