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.

I think it would be a good idea to have a community push for all the ArbCom seats to go up for election in December, and throw out the staggered election system. The community seems to be at or approaching the level of maturity necessary to get behind an initiative like that, and annual re-election of all arbitrators would be a simple and effective way to improve the system.
