Question re ArbCom
Hi Newyorkbrad:

I know you recently switched from being the Committee Clerk to being a Committee Member. I'm asking you this as I don't know who the current Clerk is.

Please will you answer my question or pass it on to be answered?

Is it fair to ask ArbCom to review the validity of an RFC that is in progress? (not the content, but the "propriety".)

I think I know the answer to this question, but I'm not sure.

Thank you, Wanderer57 (talk) 22:13, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Generally the Arbitration Committee will accept a case for review where earlier dispute resolution (such as RfC) has failed to resolve. If there is a dispute as to the propriety of an RfC, generally this is resolved by discussion among administrators on ANI. If that does not occur and if the RfC involves a sufficiently serious matter, there is no reason it could not be submitted for arbitration. Off the top of my head, I don't recall any cases of that nature being accepted thus far, however.
 * For future reference, a list of Clerks can be found at Arbitration Committee/Clerks. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
