Arbitration report
Script writers appointed for clerks
On 10 June, arbitrator clerk L235 posted an announcement that the clerks were looking for script writers who "will work with the clerk team to automate portions of the clerks' procedures." These procedures include, but are not limited to, vetting new requests, opening and managing open cases and miscellaneous tasks such as arbitrator retirements. On 7 July, L235 announced that Fred Gandt and Σ would be appointed as the script developers. Best of luck to both on future outings.
If any editor is interested in assisting, you can contact the clerks at clerks-l@lists.wikimedia.org.
