Use this section to request clarification or amendment of a closed Arbitration Committee case or decision.
Requests for clarification are used to ask for further guidance or clarification about an existing completed Arbitration Committee case or decision.
Requests for amendment are used to: ask for an amendment or extension of existing sanctions (for instance, because the sanctions are ineffective, contain a loophole, or no longer cover a sufficiently wide topic); or appeal for the removal of sanctions (including bans).
How to file a request: (you must use this format!)
Copy the text in the box at the bottom of this page.
Click here to edit the Clarification and amendment subpage.
Paste the template (you copied in step one) into the edit box, above any other outstanding requests.
Complete the information and subject line of the template. Then complete your statement, which must try to state your request and reasoning, in 500 words or fewer. You must give diffs to substantiate your request, where necessary. Although your submission must be concise, you may add to your statement if needed; the word limit is not so rigidly enforced here as it is on other arbitration pages. You must specify all users who are affected or involved by your request for amendment or clarification. Sign your statement (and any subsequent comments) with ~~~~, then save the page.
If your request will affect or involve other users, you must notify these editors of your submission. Do this, then return to your request and add diffs of your notifications.
This is not a discussion.
You can paste the template into your user space, or use an off-line text editor, to compose your request in private. Do not submit your request until it is ready for consideration; this is not a space for drafts, and incremental additions to a submission are disruptive.
Arbitrators or Clerks may summarily remove or refactor discussion without comment.
Only Arbitrators and Clerks may remove requests from this page. Do not remove a request or any statements or comments unless you are one. There must be no threaded discussion, so please comment only in your own section.
