This week, Daniel Mayer, known to the Wikipedia community as Maveric149, announced his resignation from the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee. On Wednesday, Mayer moved his name on the ArbCom listings to the "pending resignations" section. Mayer had been listed as "away" since 25 June, first due to a vacation, and then due to working 50-60 hours a week. Citing that he had "no free time", Mayer announced that he would resign as soon as he is replaced; this effectively means that he will not be seeking re-election this year.

Mayer has been an Arbitrator ever since the beginning of the ArbCom in early 2004 and was appointed by Jimbo. A part of Tranche β, his seat is up for election this year. Because he had been away for so long and his seat was already up for election, it is unlikely that the change from "away" to "pending resignation" will have any immediate impact on the functioning of the ArbCom.

However, his resignation means that at least two of eight seats up for grabs in this year's December elections will not have an incumbent running. Mayer joins Nohat as the two arbitrators who have announced their resignations.
