There was at one point a proposal here; it is now at /Old proposal.
Arbitration policy has been the jurisdiction of Jimbo Wales and the Arbitration Committee; see e.g. the arbitration policy ratification vote, which states that the "Arbitration Policy may be tweaked as the Committee gains experience and learns better ways of doing things". Jimbo Wales has also suggested that Arbitration Policy is not open to amendment by the community.
Previous proposed amendments
Several attempts have been made to instigate community interest in amendment of Arbitration policy; see e.g.
- Misplaced Pages:Arbitration policy/Proposed amendment and its failed ratification vote
- Misplaced Pages:Arbitration policy/Proposed amendment revote which, despite its name, was not entirely the same as the original proposed amendment
A restriction of one hundred community votes was implemented in both votes, but not met by either.
Current amendment process
In 2008, a wide ranging Request for Comments on the Arbitration system was undertaken, this resulted in a series of suggested policy changes, and it is expected that these changes will be voted on for ratification during the 2008 Arbitration Committee Elections. This may become an accepted method of amendment of the Arbitration Policy by the community.
