Audit Subcommittee vacancies: last call for applications

This is a reminder that the application period for the three non-arbitrator seats on the Audit Subcommittee will close at 23:59, 29 July 2014 (UTC).

The Arbitration Committee is seeking to appoint three non-arbitrator members to the Audit Subcommittee ("AUSC"). The Committee is comprised of six members and is tasked with investigations concerning the use of CheckUser and Oversight privileges on the English Misplaced Pages. The AUSC also monitors CheckUser and Oversight activity and use of the applicable tools. The current non-arbitrator members are Guerillero, MBisanz, and Richwales, whose terms were to expire on June 30 2014 but were extended until August 27 2014 by the Committee.

Matters brought before the subcommittee may be time-sensitive and subcommittee members should be prepared and available to discuss cases promptly so they may be resolved in a timely manner. Sitting subcommittee members are expected to actively participate in AUSC proceedings and may be replaced should they become inactive. All subcommittee members are given both CheckUser and Oversight access. They are subject to the relevant local and global policies and guidelines concerning CheckUser and Oversight.

Please note that due to Wikimedia Foundation rules governing access to deleted material, only applications from administrators will be accepted.

If you think you may be suitably qualified, please email arbcom-en-c@lists.wikimedia.org with your nomination statement to start the application procedure for an appointment ending 31 August 2015. The application period will close at 23:59, 29 July 2014 (UTC). Further information is also available here.

Floquenbeam's resignation

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

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.

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.

My apologies for not really pulling my weight. I'm leaving with a tremendous respect for the amount of time and effort the other Arbs put into this, and will at least know better than to snark from the sidelines now that I'm a civilian again. --Floquenbeam (talk) 12:12, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
