The arbs who have yet to vote are
AGK
NYBrad
Elen
David Fuchs
Hersfold
Coren
Actually, I'm not sure about Coren and AGK since they're nowhere on that page. Coren is listed as an arbitrator
pro tempore. On the other hand Risker is listed as "Inactive" but she voted in some the earlier proposals. AGK is not on the page either. So maybe it's the other four + Risker, who, I'm guessing is going to try and stay "inactive" for as long as possible.
It must suck to be the "pivotal voter". I betcha all of them are thinking of ways they could recuse this late in the game. The "equilbrium" now is to wait for another person to vote first, since at that point your vote doesn't matter and if it's ever thrown in your face in the future you can point that out.
So, barring a brave soul, I think we're gonna hafta wait for that next vote for awhile (and I expect there will be at least one more "Oppose" or "Abstain" (under some sketchy reason) before a "Support", if any, votes are cast.
According to
this list, Risker and Coren are active on the case, while AGK and Hersfold are not. So now that David Fuchs has opposed the ban, that leaves Risker, NYB, Elen of the Roads, and apparently Coren as the arbitrators who can cast the decisive vote.
However, Coren has made just one edit in the past month, so listing him as "active" might be an oversight. If they were to remove Coren from the active list (which makes sense if he's not going to participate), the majority would be 7 instead of 8, which means that Mailer Diablo's already-on-the-record vote to ban would be decisive.

For years I was tricked us into thinking the larouche party was some kind of repressed underdog because known otherwise-corrupt admins like Will Beback in other ways fought them amongst their other POV battles - and I hope that serves as a lesson really to other administrators on Wikipedia that when you act in scummy ways to other people like Will Beback, and that nearly all that people hear about you is bad, then everyone is less inclined to believe anything you say even on the few occasions when you're actually doing something right. I feel like an idiot for not reading up more on the Party at the time now...
Well, I wouldn't say that the content of the LaRouche articles is dictated by HK and Nobs01, would you?
