Arbitration motion regarding Winhunter

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

Because Winhunter has been desysopped for inactivity, this case is closed pursuant to the previously adopted motion. Because the automatic desysopping occurred while Winhunter was the subject of a pending arbitration case, he may regain administrator status only by passing a new request for adminship.

Changes in oversight team

In accordance with the Committee's procedure on functionary inactivity, the Oversight permissions of Guerillero (talk · contribs) are removed.

At their own request, the Oversight permissions of NativeForeigner (talk · contribs), Snowolf (talk · contribs) and Xeno (talk · contribs) have also been removed.
