What are your views of the proposed Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Code of Conduct and User Bill of Rights?

I approve of the Code of Conduct and fully intend to support it, if passed. It seems quite reasonable. However, a burden of proof should exist on the accuser in an Arbitration case. I would prefer to avoid hearsay as evidence. Banning should only be used in cases of extreme malice. That said, I believe the Arbitration Committee should have some voice or influence in setting policy - considering that as Arbitration members, we would be the ones with most direct contact, and eventually, experience in dealing with conflicts. Not setting policy - just having a say, based on our experiences. I think this is fair. Guapovia 17:38, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
User:Improv, who is also a candidate for the arbitration committee, has placed the following statement on Wikipedia:Village pump (policy):
I am inviting all candidates, including Improv, to expand on this theme on their questions pages. Do you agree that this is a cause for concern as we move into 2006? How do you see the role of the arbitration committee in interpreting the interpretation of Wikipedia policy in the light of this concern? -- Tony Sidaway| Talk 20:38, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
