The Arbitration Committee opened one case this week, and did not close any, leaving three currently open.

Evidence phase

 * SlimVirgin-Lar: A case brought by Thatcher, asking the committee to review the use of checkuser by Lar, in the light of comments by SlimVirgin (here, inter alia), alleging that he misused the tool. Evidence is to be submitted privately to the committee by e-mail.

Voting phase

 * Geogre-William M. Connolley: A case involving wheel warring between Geogre and William M. Connolley.  William M. Connolley inappropriately extended a block on Giano II, while Geogre inappropriately reversed the block, and reversed page protection on Giano's talk page.  The case is currently in the voting phase; proposed remedies include:
 * Four different versions of a remedy modifying or removing remedy 2.2 in IRC. All versions are supported by three to five arbitrators, and opposed by one to two arbitrators.
 * Currently passing is a remedy prohibiting Geogre and Connolley from taking any administrative action with respect to Giano II.

Motion to close

 * C68-FM-SV: A case involving disputes between Cla68, FeloniousMonk, SlimVirgin, JzG, and others.  The case, which has seen little-to-no public input from arbitrators, is currently subject to a motion to dismiss, with the support of one arbitrator, and the opposition of one.
