wikimedia.org. Each candidate will receive an application questionnaire to be completed and returned to the arbcom-en-c mailing list before the nomination period ends. The questionnaire will include a nomination statement, to a maximum of 250 words, for inclusion on the candidate's public nomination sub-page(s).

- The committee will review applications and ask the functionary team for their feedback.
- Notification of candidates: 24 September to 26 September
- The committee will notify candidates going forward for community consultation and create the candidate subpages containing the submitted nomination statements.
- Community consultation: 27 September to 6 October
- Nomination statements will be published and candidates invited to answer questions publicly. The community is invited to participate. Please note changes from previous consultation phases:
- Editors may ask a maximum of two questions per candidate;
- Editors may comment on each candidate with a limit of 500 words, including replies to other editors. Discussion will be sectioned and monitored by the Arbitration Committee and the clerks;
- Please refrain from bolded votes, as this is a consultation and not a community consensus.
