'''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.

::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.
