Discuss this at: Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard § Arbitration motion regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones

Please take this note as my formal resignation from the Arbitration Committee. I've been less available in 2023 than I'd like, and since we're near election season, I felt this was a good time for me to step down. Being an arbitrator is not the most appreciated role on the encyclopedia (something I've written about in the past), so I'd just like to express my personal gratitude to the remaining committee, who do so much work behind the scenes, dealing with things so the rest of the community doesn't have to.

Noting for the formality of it, I'm giving up CU OS for now too, please. Worm^TT(talk) 14:43, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
