Arbitration motion regarding an amendment to arbitration procedures
The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
A section titled "Closing" will be added to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures under "Requests for amendment" with the following text:
A request for clarification or amendment is eligible to be closed by an arbitrator if:
- A rough consensus has been reached among arbitrators participating in the request; and
- The rough consensus does not require a vote to implement (e.g. modifying the remedy to a case).
The closing arbitrator should include a summary of the rough consensus when closing the request for clarification or amendment.
