I would assume that, some time beforehand, a call for interested
parties is put out - those considered for ArbCom are politely prodded
to see if they're interested, and anyone else wanting to put their
name forward (poss. with some supporting evidence) does so. Mull over
that lot for a while, then give a list of possibles and let the
community tear them apart.
