Arbitration enforcement and discretionary sanctions

The following sections are moved (word for word) from the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions procedure to the Committee's procedures page (under the "Enforcement" heading) and as such apply to all arbitration enforcement actions (including discretionary sanctions and actions enforcing arbitration case remedies):

The "Expectations of administrators" section
The "Dismissing an enforcement request" section

A note is to be placed prominently on the discretionary sanctions procedure noting that the Enforcement provisions on the Committee's procedures page also apply to the application and enforcement of discretionary sanctions.

Appeals and modifications

The "Appeals and modifications" in the discretionary sanctions procedure is modified to reflect the current version standard provision for appeals and modifications, including changes made to it in future amendments (Template:Arbitration standard provisions may be used).

Standardizing things usually reduces confusion, so yeah, this sounds fine. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 22:54, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
