Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were passed.

:#: (Third sentence, by the way.) Isn't that weight on the critical material for a serial killer ''due'' weight though? A typical head of state, for example should not have as much critical material as a serial killer because of the undue weight clause.

:Note that #3 '''Article quality and sourcing''' currently ''passes'' with 6 votes; with Blnguyen abstaining, it only needs 5 votes to pass. If the generic version is preferred, at least two arbitrators need to change their vote, otherwise both versions will pass. [[User talk:Thatcher131|Thatcher131]] 22:12, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:: I'm confused. The generic version fails with only four votes, does it not? [[User:UninvitedCompany|The Uninvited]] Co., [[User_talk:UninvitedCompany|Inc.]] 01:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 
My understanding is that the summary; principles 1, 2, 3, 5.1, and 6; findings of fact 1, 2, and 4; and remedies 1, 2, and 3.1 have passed. Principle 5, though it has nominally passed, is irrelevant since substantially identical text is present in 5.1 therefore I consider it to have been superceded by 5.1. I note that the enforcement section needs one more vote to pass, and I would hope that someone will make that vote, but I do not consider it necessary to the case since it reiterates common sense. [[User:UninvitedCompany|The Uninvited]] Co., [[User_talk:UninvitedCompany|Inc.]] 01:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
:Principle 3.1 (the generic version) now has 5 votes but needs 6. Principle 3 also has 6 votes, although James' is conditional, but passes with 5 due to Blnguyen's abstention. With the generic version gaining momentum, I wanted to point out that unless someone changes their vote on 3, both could pass. Regarding 5 and 5.1, it looks like Fred has proposed them at the same time as a general and specific sub-principle (or something), not as alternates. Since none of the votes are conditional, I would tend to count them both as passed, even though it won't have much practical impact.

'''Clerk note''': This case is ready to close and I will close it tomorrow, but would appreciate confirmation whether the number of participating arbitrators should be left at 10 or reduced given that some arbitrators have taken inactive status without having voted ont his case. This will affect whether remedy 8 passes. [[User:Newyorkbrad|Newyorkbrad]] 23:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
:As a matter of policy, the arbitrators who became inactive without voting are substracted. (Their listing was probably a de facto recognition of the fact that they haven't participated in any cases in some time.) Of course, this a policy I wrote [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Clerks/Noticeboard&diff=86038304&oldid=85704436] but in 3 months no one has complained. [[User talk:Thatcher131|Thatcher131]] 00:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
::I will close the case on this basis tomorrow unless told otherwise by an arbitrator. Moving Raul654 and Morven to inactive (SimonP voted in this case) reduces the number of participating arbitrators to 8, so the majority is 5, with the result that in addition to the proposals noted in the implementation notes above, remedy 8 also passes.
