The analogy has been made to the judiciary. A panel of judges works on
a majority rule basis, as a rule, and issues an order for every case
giving its disposition. The Wikipedia arbitrators similarly have a
clear and published process, with clear and published statements about
the current progress of cases, and give clear and published decisions.
