Discuss this at: Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard § Arbitration motion regarding the extended confirmed restriction

The Arbitration Committee announces that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year. This reflects a change from past practice, which provided that only "extraordinary" candidates would be considered outside of an annual appointment process. The steps for interested candidates will remain the following:

• Candidates may self-nominate by contacting the Arbitration Committee at arbcom-en-cwikimedia.org.
• Candidates will be be asked to fill out a questionnaire.
• The Arbitration Committee and Functionaries will vet the candidates.
• The Committee will notify candidates going forward for community consultation and create the candidate subpages containing the submitted nomination statements. Depending on the situation, this may happen immediately or may happen at a set time (e.g., first of the month) to allow grouping of candidates.
• Nomination statements will be published and the candidates will be invited to answer questions publicly. The community will be invited and encouraged to participate over a 10 day period.
• Appointment, if any, will be announced.

The 2024 Arbitration Committee will decide whether it will continue to conduct an annual call for functionary candidates, or if instead this process will be the primary process for functionary appointments going forward.

In light of the voting phase of the arbcom election starting soon, I've decided to make official what has been de facto true for a while now and resign from the committee. Obviously I have been overtaken by real-life commitments and haven't had the time to contribute as I'd hoped this year, and I don't see that changing in the short time left in my term. Apologies and appreciation to those who picked up more work than they signed up for in my absence. I will also be giving up CU/OS, since I don't have time to do those jobs either. For everyone running in this year's election, good luck, and best wishes to the 2024 committee! Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:42, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Arbitration Committee has received applications for functionary permissions from several editors, consistent with its previous announcement that applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions will be accepted at any point in the year. The following editors have applied for the CheckUser permission and have subsequently been reviewed and vetted by the functionary team, and the community is invited to comment on the associated consultation pages:

• Spicy (talk · contribs) (consultation)
• Vanamonde93 (talk · contribs) (consultation)

The community consultations will remain open through 11 December 2023.
