== Resignation of Barkeep49 from ArbCom ==
The Arbitration Committee has resolved by [[Special:Permalink/993315281#New_alternate_motion_(3-month_DS_trial)|motion]] that:
 
I resign as Arbitrator effective immediately. I will be retaining Oversight and giving up Checkuser. It's clear I am no longer at my best as an arbitrator and so rather than waiting for [[:m:U4C|U4C]] to achieve quorum before resigning - as I [[Special:Diff/1173982217|still believe]] we should have no rule against serving on both but that it would be foolish in the extreme for a person to do both - I have made the decision to step down from ArbCom now. I look forward to focusing all my energies on the U4C and the ways outside of ArbCom I am able to help Wikipedia. Thank you to the community for electing me, I hope those who supported me felt like I honored their trust and thanks to my current and former colleagues from whom I learned so much. It has truly been an honor to serve. Best, [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] ([[User_talk:Barkeep49|talk]]) 02:18, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee attaches the following addendum to its [[Special:Diff/1235136231|previous announcement]] regarding the suspension of Beeblebrox, also known as Just Step Sideways:

Your plain speaking is appreciated, however there have been a couple of occasions that comments made in public risk compromising the faith the community puts in arbitrators to conduct arbitration fairly. Two important traits the community expects us to be are to be (a) discreet and (b) scrupulous/fair.
== 2021 Arbitration Committee ==
 
Mocking another editor (albeit one currently indefinitely blocked on en-wiki) on a Wikipedia criticism site is not compatible with fairness, and candid comments about differences in opinion concerning {{redacted}} and {{redacted}} are not compatible with discretion.
The Arbitration Committee welcomes the following new and returning arbitrators following their [[:en:WP:ACE2020|election]] by the community. The two-year terms of these arbitrators formally begin on 01 January 2021:
 
Outside the public comments, your recent message to the functionaries list regarding {{redacted}} has caused significant consternation amongst editors there. Whilst you may not have realised {{redacted}}, the tone used in regard to another contributor who is participating in good faith was also not compatible with scrupulous behaviour.
* {{userlinks|Barkeep49}}
* {{userlinks|BDD}}
* {{userlinks|Bradv}}
* {{userlinks|CaptainEek}}
* {{userlinks|L235}}
* {{userlinks|Maxim}}
* {{userlinks|Primefac}}
 
Can you please be really really careful in situations where a public comment (a) may reveal or hint at private committee discussion, or (b) come across as denigrating, mocking or flippantly dismissing another person's concerns, or other ad hominem comments, in all fora, but particularly if made on Wikipediocracy.
All incoming arbitrators have elected to receive (or retain, where applicable) the CheckUser and Oversight permissions.
 
==For 2021the Arbitration Committee ==,
We also thank our outgoing colleagues whose terms end on 31 December 2020:
* {{userlinks|DGGcob}}
* {{userlinks|GorillaWarfare}}
* {{userlinks|Joe Roe}}
* {{userlinks|Mkdw}}
 
Support: Aoidh, Barkeep49, Guerillero, L235, Moneytrees, Sdrqaz, ToBeFree
Outgoing arbitrators are eligible to retain the CheckUser and Oversight permissions, remain active on cases accepted before their term ended, and to remain subscribed to the functionaries' and arbitration clerks' mailing lists following their term on the committee. To that effect:
* Stewards are requested to remove the permission(s) noted from the following outgoing arbitrators after 31 December 2020 at their own request:
*: Oversight: Joe Roe
* Outgoing arbitrators are eligible to remain active on cases opened before their term ended if they wish. Whether or not outgoing arbitrators will remain active on any ongoing case(s) will be noted on the proposed decision talk page of affected case(s).
* All outgoing arbitrators will remain subscribed to the [[:en:WP:FUNC|functionaries' mailing list]]
* DGG, Joe Roe, and Mkdw will be unsubscribed from the [[:en:WP:AC/C|arbitration clerks' mailing list]] at their request.
 
Oppose: CaptainEek, Maxim, Primefac, Z1720
