| ==Vacant seats== | |||
| This year's Election will fill the following outgoing Arbitrators' seats: | |||
| #{{User4|Jdforrester}} (James Forrester aka "James F.") | |||
| #{{User4|YellowMonkey}} (previously Blnguyen) | |||
| #{{User4|Charles Matthews}} | |||
| #{{User4|Morven}} | |||
| #{{User4|Paul August}}<ref>]'s seat was originally supposed to expire this year. However, ] Thebainer to Paul's seat, effective January 2009; therefore, Thebainer's will sit for 1 more year (Paul just over 1yr before he was due to end his Committee duty), and his previous seat will now be filled in this election—that seat having expired this year, and therefore giving the person appointed to it a full 3yr term.</ref> | |||
| #{{User4|UninvitedCompany}}<ref>UninvitedCompany stepped down 1 year before his seat originally would expire (). One candidate from this year's Election will fill this seat, and therefore hold a position on the Committee for one year—until UninvitedCompany's seat would usually expire.</ref> | |||
| #{{User4|Jpgordon}}<ref>Jpgordon is stepping down 1 year early (). One candidate from this year's Election will fill this seat, and therefore hold a position on the Committee for one year—until Jpgordon's seat would usually expire.</ref> | |||
| There are therefore a total of seven open seats: five in Tranche Beta and two in Tranche Gamma. (The term extension for Thebainer fills the third vacancy in Tranche Gamma, which would have been the eighth open seat overall.) Assuming the number of arbitrators and tranche structure is left unchanged, the top five appointees will receive full three-year appointments to Tranche Beta (expiring December 31, 2011), and the next two appointees will receive one-year unexpired terms in Tranche Gamma (expiring December 31, 2009). | |||
