Surprised this hasn't already been mentioned here, especially since it seems to be composed of 75% WR members. While I'm more than willing to be pleasantly surprised, this looks like a very peculiar idea to me. (My thoughts on the matter are here).

If this group plans to conduct its business somewhere other than on Wikipedia itself, it might accomplish something. Doing it on Wikipedia itself will result in the discussions being continually disrupted by the peanut gallery.

I'd consider volunteering except that they'd probably insist that I use Wikipedia to volunteer, and I'm not about to actually log into Wikipedia (I'm not sure I even remember my password) just to do that. And I don't have an email address for Kirill.

I interpreted it as a request that you send the Arb Comm list an e-mail.

Also, why would you consider volunteering? To accomplish something, or to amuse yourself at Wikipedia's expense? I've no doubt you'd be successful in whichever of those was your true objective, let me make clear.
