Note: The Signpost special series on the December 2005 Arbitration Committee elections will resume soon.
This week the straw poll regarding the elections process for the December January 2006 ArbCom elections continued. As of press time, approximately 75 percent of Wikipedians giving input on the poll had indicated that they preferred an elected ArbCom, while the other 25 percent preferred an appointed ArbCom.
Discussion was also started on the suitability of a poll for gauging input and its effectiveness, with several users citing the now-famous meta page, Polls Are Evil. However, others disagreed, saying that a poll was a proper way to spark discussion and to estimate community opinions.
There were no changes this week to the candidates list as uncertainty over the elections procedure continued.
