So the nominations for the 2009 arbcom elections are open. In other news, the voting method, the no. of candidates being elected, and their terms are not yet established, so if you'd like to nominate yourself for an indeterminate amount of time, to be decided in an indeterminate way, to a committee of indeterminate no. roll up, roll up, roll up :-)

ps. I was feeling a bit amused by the above, and decided to withdraw (partly as an intensely thought through socio-political and philosophical comment on the elections and the process) - unfortunately it didn't stick. I'm not sure if that means I'm running or not.

Our job is to help ensure that the new guard don't turn into a bunch of corrupt, conniving dicks as well.
They already are a bunch of corrupt, conniving dicks.

Why, how dare you! Where's your Wiki-Luv?? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif)


Long ago dead, dried up and blown away by the wind, my inebriated corvid friend.
