How would you suggest we ensure diversity in the Arbitration Committee candidates and voting community? It's one thing to *encourage* diversity among the Committee and voters, and another to *ensure* it. For one it would require women (and members of other groups that are in the minority on the Committee and on Wikipedia more widely) to be willing to run, which I think is asking a lot with the current state of affairs with respect to the Committee. – Molly (GorillaWarfare)
