900:"RFAR/Durova" talk pages - indicative summaries are often OK. The main objections are expectation of privacy, and copyright. While public posting from private communications without permission is forbidden by consensus, the question whether a user can allude to off wiki matters in overview to reduce the "mystery level" of the case ("X emailed me on 3 occasions in each case denying Y". "Z asked for an unblock on IRC") would be allowed. In copyright terms it's fine; in privacy terms it may be or may not be. A large number of disputes at least allude to off-wiki communications, so the question "how much may be stated" is important. Needs discussing. 324:
first offense) against parties violating the injunction. An injunction is considered to have passed when four or more Arbitrators have voted in favour of it, where a vote in opposition negates a vote in support. A grace period of twenty-four hours is usually observed between the fourth affirmative vote and the enactment of the injunction; however, Arbitrators may, in exceptional circumstances, vote to implement an injunction immediately if four or more Arbitrators express a desire to do so in their votes, or if a majority of Arbitrators active on the case have already voted to support the injunction.

They should be submitted privately to the Committee or any active Arbitrator instead, with full email headers included. Where such permission is not forthcoming, a user wishing to cite from private correspondence on the Arbitration related pages may only do so if they obtain an arbitrator's opinion what is acceptable to post, and any redaction or summarizing needed, and the post is in accordance with that opinion.

Arbitrators are expected to assess their neutrality for each case and to take note of the concerns of others. An Arbitrator who may be perceived to have significant past interactions should either recuse, or else should disclose any prior issues (privately or on-wiki as appropriate), and explain the basis of their belief they are able to assess the case neutrally, if necessary. 620:
were at any stage, other than Jimbo's as project leader. The most accurate description of policy change is probably that it would be some kind of tripartite decision between Jimbo, the community, and the then-committee. Probably in realistic terms it would end up like the Arbcom elections, ie communally discussed and Jimbo final say.

in such a circumstance is exactly that, to say "this is how to avoid dispute"... If a better response exists then the community might develop it, and the development of a better longer term answer should be supported by the committee; the interim solution should be aimed at helping make that possible.

It isn't ideal, but bluntly, if people are having a wheel war or unable to agree some major issue (BLP etc) then it may be best to say "this is the best we can do for now" until better comes along.
