It's not clear from here, or on the wiki page (that I can see, anyway;
though I might have over looked), if one can nominate themselves.
I know that in other elections on various wikis, it is possible for one
to nominate themselves, as long as they met the requirements. However,
due to the purpose of ArbCom, I can understand if this will not be
possible.
On another note, can an Administrator of this list email me privately,
so I may correctly update my information.
