2022 Arbitration Committee Elections
Status as of 12:26 (UTC), Thursday, 14 November 2024 ()
- Thank you for participating in the 2022 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 2022 English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee election and resolve any issues not covered by the existing rules. 13:49, 1 September 2022 (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 2021 election 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 standard RfC structure will be used, in which any user may make a general statement that other users may endorse if they so agree. The points will be listed in the table of contents below, along with the users who have made statements. Anyone is free to raise any new topics that they feel need to be addressed by filling out the format template below or using {{subst:ACERFC statement}}.
Duration: In order to preserve the timeline of the election (see below), we should aim to close this RfC as soon as 30 days have passed, i.e. on or after 23:59, 30 September 2022 (UTC). The results will determine the structure, rules, and procedures for the election.
