Statement from Jimbo re. Bauder/Forrester, From around Jan. 2006 ArbCom Elections Options

[C H]

I recall Jimbo saying that any arbcom election process that failed to elect James Forrester or Fred Bauder was broken. It was around the time of the January 2006 election, where James and Fred had seemingly failed in their reelection bids. Shortly thereafter, Jimbo expanded the arbcom by 3 members, adding Forrester, Bauder and JayJG. Can anyone help me find the quote? It was either on-wiki or on the mailing list.

Actually, can someone check something for me?

I can't for the life of me find the official announcement where Jimbo instates Kelly Martin and Kat Walsh as arbitrators.

I know Raul adds them to the ArbCom page on October 11th, 2005, but I can't actually find anything from Jimbo regarding it in his contribution history, or more traditionally on wikien-l. I can't recall an ArbCom appointment without some sort of Jimbo announcement, so there's something I'm missing.

[Kelly Martin]

I can't for the life of me find the official announcement where Jimbo instates Kelly Martin and Kat Walsh as arbitrators.

I checked through my email and found my letter to Jimbo on October 4th asking him to indicate whether or not he was going to appoint me, since he had told me over a week before he was going to and it hadn't happened yet.

I don't have a reply from Jimbo that I can find; he probably found me on IRC or something. The announcement was a week later on wikien-l. Took me a while to find this. It was "announced" (more or less) on the wiki by Ral315.

from that same email, Jimbo says;

I'm also appointing JamesF as the Chief Research Officer. He's fantabulous of course.

I am speechless.
