Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures/2014 review

The Arbitration Committee is fundamentally governed by the arbitration policy, but its procedures also have a significant effect on its day-to-day business and affect many areas of Wikipedia. Most of the committee's procedures are now a number of years old, so they may no longer be fit for purpose. This review therefore aims to allow for community comment on the current procedures, and for arbitrators to propose new procedures for comment.

May 2014: The review opens with the procedures relating to Advanced permissions.

All comment and discussion is on the talk page. Any editor is welcome to participate. Please do not directly edit this page (or the procedures page proper).
