Well I know fr.wiki has had significant problems with its arbcom, es.wiki forked at one point so I suppose that is a form of governance, it.wiki deleted its arbcom, and now de.wiki's has resigned. I seem to remember some issues with ru.wiki's, but it might not have been DR related.
The nl:arbcom is dead most of the time.
The concept simply does not work, and will never work, for two reasons:
- it's treating the environment as a community instead of a project, i.e. content comes last;
- it's easy as well was attractive for wikipediots to make it to the top.
