The Arbitration Committee Clerk's office exists to aid the Arbitration Committee in coming to its decisions.

Clerks will review and summarize evidence submitted on evidence pages, write (in part or in whole) the decisions of arbitration committee, and open/close cases which have the required number of votes as directed by the AC. If an organized process by which clerks are assigned to cases is necessary, it will be worked out by the Clerk's office once it becomes operational.

Clerks have write-access to the Arbitration Committee mailing list, and are allowed to edit proposed and final decision pages. They may not vote, however. Former clerks do not retain these privileges.

The Clerk's office is to be chaired by a former Arbitrator. Selection is done by the Arbitration Committee. The chairperson's role will be primarily organizational and administritorial, and optionally may include clerking as well.

Anyone may apply to become a clerk. Approval from the Clerk's office chair is required, and the Arbitration Committee as a whole. Of course, anyone may write summaries of evidence, or suggest decisions for the ArbCom. People interested in becoming a clerk are encouraged to help out current ArbCom cases with sensible comments. The helpfulness (or lack thereof) of these comments may well influence the decision on making someone an official clerk.

Current chairperson: Kelly Martin
