== Worm That Turned stepping down ==

Please take this note as my formal resignation from the Arbitration Committee. I've been less available in 2023 than I'd like, and since we're near election season, I felt this was a good time for me to step down. Being an arbitrator is not the most appreciated role on the encyclopedia (something I've written about [[User:Worm That Turned/Rant On/Being an arbitrator|in the past]]), so I'd just like to express my personal gratitude to the remaining committee, who do so much work behind the scenes, dealing with things so the rest of the community doesn't have to.

== Resignation of SilkTork ==

I am resigning from the Arbitration Committee at the end of this year - December 31, 2023. Due to age and health I have struggled with the requirements of clarity of thought, energy levels, and remaining emotionally detached that is required of an Arb, and don't feel I have given of my best during this term. The thought of another year is wearying. I have been impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, skills and work ethic of the current Committee, one of the best and most supportive I have worked with. The Arbitration Committee, thanks to the work of not just the current but also previous Committees, is moving forward into an efficient organisation, and - despite my resignation - I would recommend it for those younger admins who have not yet served as a place to learn and discover more about Wikipedia, to test and improve skills, and as a place to really satisfy those desires of wanting to help out. ArbCom really benefits from having a mix of newer and younger admins working alongside seasoned and experienced Arbs. Indeed, the Committee benefits from having a wide and active range of views and opinions and experiences - it's as good to have those who are mainly familiar with writing articles, or organising categories as it is to have those who are very familiar with the daily posts on AN. Step forward and step up.

Meanwhile, thanks to the Committee and to the Clerks for all that they do. [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]] ([[User talk:SilkTork|talk]]) 11:41, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

== 2023 CheckUser and Oversight appointments: Community consultation phase open ==

The community consultation portion of the [[WP:CUOS2023|functionary appointment process]] is now open. Editors may ask up to two (2) questions of each candidate (similar to [[WP:RFA|RFA rules]]). However, since this is a consultation and not a !vote, please refrain from phrasing comments in a support/oppose/neutral fashion.

The vetting process was much quicker than anticipated resulting in the schedule for the rest of the process moving forward.

The Arbitration Committee invites editors to comment and ask questions until 23:59 UTC on September 23, 2023.
