RFAR

I really can't see the point of trying to open up a separate vote to decline the case. Jeff can withdraw his complaint, or the clerks will remove it, probably after 5 days unless additional arbitrators show interest. If jeff is waiting for some formality before filing an RFC then anyone else who was involved in the dispute can open the RFC instead. Thatcher131 17:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
