Faced with growing uncertainty about the ArbCom elections process, Wikipedians both added their names into the candidate pool and withdrew their candidacy. This week, PZFUN (statement) and Tony Sidaway (statement) announced their candidacies, while Linuxbeak withdrew his candidacy, citing a lack of time and a desire to focus on article writing and editing.

Jimbo did not give any more details regarding the changes in the election, but limited debate began on both the mailing list and elections talk page regarding the changes, with both positive and negative feedback.
