Arbitration Committee Elections
Status
A three-member Electoral Commission was proposed and gained consensus during the 2012 Arbitration Committee Election Request for comment. Editors wishing to volunteer as a commissioner should create a section on this RfC, and all editors are encouraged to comment on the suitability of volunteers for this role. Three volunteers will be chosen as Commissioners, and the remaining qualified applicants will be reserve members of the Electoral Commission. This is not a vote or an election; the final appointments will be made by Jimbo Wales.
The mandate of the Electoral Commission is to deal with unforeseen problems in the 2013 Arbitration Committee election process, and to adjudicate any disputes during the election, but members of the Election Commission should only intervene when there is a problem that needs resolving, and either discussion isn't working, the rules are unclear, or there isn't time. Commissioners and reserve members are not eligible for election to the Arbitration Committee during this year's election. Commissioners must be identified to the Foundation.
Hello I'm GiantSnowman, I've been an editor for editor for just under 8 years and an admin for just under 2. I think I'm a pretty good guy, and I'm more than happy to lend a hand if one is needed.
Thanks for volunteering. Could you confirm whether you're identified to the Foundation, or would be able to identify if necessary? Happy‑ melon 16:15, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello I'm TParis. I'm willing to volunteer for the electoral commission. I have no intention to run for Arbcom and I've never had a sanction levied against me by Arbcom (or anyone that I recall). I've been involved in the Arbcom election process for the last couple of years and I am fairly familiar with the community consensus about the election. I'm already identified to the foundation.
As I said in the RfC, I have held this (or equivalent) role in every ArbCom election since 2009, and am very happy to serve on the Electoral Commission again. I don't see it as a very substantive role, but it is one which occasionally requires some technical skill and a level head, both of which I believe I have and have demonstrated in the past. As a former Oversighter I am already identified to the Foundation. Happy‑ melon 15:52, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
I am Guy Macon, and I have over seven years with no blocks or sanctions (and as far as I recall no administrator warnings in at least the last five years). I am a volunteer at the dispute resolution noticeboard, and looking over my activities there should give you a good indication of my temperament and experience with calmly dealing with situations where tempers tend to flare. I have been involved with three arbcom cases (always as an outside observer) and one enforcement request. They are:
I edit using my legal name and have provided identification to the Wikimedia Foundation. [1] [2] -- Guy Macon ( talk) 18:05, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
I have been an editor on the English Wikipedia since 2004, and an administor since December last year. I have previously served on the Wikimedia Foundation Election Committee in 2008 and 2013, and volunteered for the electoral commission last year. I have not been in any serious conflict with other editors, so will not have any conflict of interest with any potential candidates for this election. KTC ( talk) 20:02, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
I have been an administrator for nearly five years and and a Wikimedia steward for nearly three years. I am willing to serve as a member as the Electoral Commission because I want to enrich my experience with the election process. I am already identified to the Foundation. Thank you.
