Looking at that one, the only fail/success mechanism *is* by announcement,
so that's the only basis for judging whether a judicial assignment
succeeds.

The requirement for the Arbitor to have further procedure to ensure 
fairness is a SHALL, not a CAN.  Which means we treat failure to live
up to the SHALL in a criminal sense, where context (intent, informal 
procedure to mitigate the effects of breaking the SHALL, impact of 
violation) can in fact be used.
