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.
The Arbitration Committee sincerely thanks all four functionaries for their service. The Committee also extends its thanks to the current CheckUser and Oversight permission holders for the invaluable contributions they make as functionaries.

CU/OS activity standards motion proposed: Community comments invited
The Arbitration Committee is currently considering a motion to amend the standing procedure on functionary permissions and inactivity. The proposed change is given below:
Original: Accordingly, the minimum activity level for each tool (based on the preceding three months' activity) shall be five logged actions, including at least one community-requested logged action. Examples of community-requested actions include suppression requests via the oversight-en-wp OTRS queue; CheckUser requests through Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations, those stemming from account creation requests, those made in response to threads at an administrative noticeboard, or posted on a CheckUser's personal user talk page. These activity requirements do not apply to: sitting members of the Arbitration Committee; or holders who have temporarily relinquished access, including CheckUsers or Oversighters who accept appointment to the Ombudsman Commission.
and:
Holders of the permissions are also expected to:
- Remain active on the English Wikipedia unless they have previously notified the Arbitration Committee of a significant expected absence and its likely duration.
- Consider temporarily relinquishing their permission(s) for planned prolonged periods of inactivity.
- Reply within seven days to email communications from either the Audit Subcommittee or the Arbitration Committee about their use of the permissions.
Replaced with:
Accordingly, the minimum activity level for each tool (based on the preceding three months' activity) shall be five logged actions. Consideration will be given for activity and actions not publicly logged, such as responding to requests on the Checkuser or Oversight OTRS queues; participation on list discussions; activity at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations; responding to account creation requests; and responding to Checkuser or Oversight requests on administrative noticeboards, UTRS queue, and user talk pages. These activity requirements do not apply to: (a) sitting members of the Arbitration Committee; (b) holders using the permissions for audit purposes; or (c) holders who have temporarily relinquished access, including CheckUsers or Oversighters who accept appointment to the Ombudsman Commission.
and:
Holders of the permissions are also expected to:
- Remain active on the English Wikipedia unless they have previously notified the Arbitration Committee of a significant expected absence and its likely duration.
- Consider temporarily relinquishing their permission(s) for planned prolonged periods of inactivity.
- Reply within seven days to email communications from the Arbitration Committee about their use of the permissions.
Community comments on the change are welcome at the motion page. For the Arbitration Committee, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 05:15, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
