I think the main conclusion I end up drawing from this is that there are probably too many arbitrators, but the problem of inactivity precludes having a smaller arbcom.
Also the fairly circular process whereby JW appoints arbcom and arbcom theoretically can sanction him. It's almost like the curious relationship Charles I had with parliament.
So honestly, what would happen if Jimmy did something Very Bad with or in regards to his en.wiki account, that led to someone processing a request against him? Would James F have to recuse, if he were still sitting? Would Jimmy be subject to sanction (not joking--I'm being serious)?
