It would be better if there were just a small number (like four) of arbs handling one case from beginning to end before taking on another case, instead of relying on all the arbs to handle all the cases all the time.
Heck, it'd be better if there were only
one arbitrator, as long as he or she could be unseated. Then we would at least have someone to credit or blame.
As it is, I think the most important thing to ask here is that each member of the committee stand for reelection this December, regardless of their "tranches." The Arbitration Committee has lost the confidence of Wikipedia's volunteers and critics alike. These terms were set by someone and can be reset; there is nothing sacred about them. Anyone who wants real reform should start there.
