Arbitration motion regarding the scope of appeals considered by the Arbitration Committee

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

The Arbitration Committee resolves to amend the scope of block appeals it handles, thus updating the guidance from previous motion in 2015, as follows:

The Arbitration Committee hears appeals from editors who are (a) blocked for reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion, or (b) blocked or banned by Arbitration and Arbitration Enforcement decisions. Examples of reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion include blocks (i) marked as an Oversight block, or (ii) based on CheckUser evidence, and where there exists disagreement between checkusers as to the interpretation of the technical evidence. It is expected that blocks marked as a CheckUser block are by default appealed on-wiki; however, the Arbitration Committee may hear appeals of such blocks if there are compelling reasons to hear an appeal in private.

Revocation of Mschwartz1's extended-confirmed permission

The Arbitration Committee makes the following update to its 20 March announcement:

Mschwartz1 (talk · contribs)'s extended-confirmed permission is revoked as they did not meet the Arbitration Committee's expectations when the request for the permission was granted. The Committee apologises for the time spent by the wider Community on this affair.

Guerillero is recused from consideration of this matter.
