There will need to be a discussion about how to handle

pending as of the time the new arbs take office.
I would imagine we'll handle it like last time: where arbitrators no
longer in office have voted on a case, they count as extra arbitrators
for those cases only, and majority is adjusted appropriately.
New arbitrators will be counted as recused for all currently open
cases unless they declare themselves un-recused for an individual
case; this saves them from having to read up on all open cases
immediately.
