I gave my colleagues a heads up yesterday, but I'm posting here to let everyone know I'm resigning from ArbCom, effective immediately.


Oppose:
I shouldn't have run for ArbCom. First, it turns out I don't have the temperament for it. Second, in spite of the caveat in my nomination statement about the relatively limited time I would spend on ArbCom business, real life has intervened and I'm finding myself with even less time available than I thought I would have, and much, much less time to devote to it than it deserves. And third, I find it depressing, sucking what joy I had left for the place completely out of my soul.


Abstain:
My plan was to stick it out until the fall, and then resign in time for the position to be filled in the next election. I think it's better that I accelerated that, and resign sooner. It won't affect the committee much, as I'm hardly active anyway, and it will do wonders for my peace of mind.

Off-wiki misconduct in Palestine–Israel topic area

As previously announced, the Arbitration Committee received private evidence appearing to reflect off-wiki misconduct related to several editors in the Palestine–Israel topic area. The Committee sent a copy of the evidence to the users in question via email, notified them on their talk pages, and gave them an opportunity to respond. Based on the evidence and the responses, the matter has been resolved as follows:

This ban may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
