I do not intend to participate in this year's election to the same extent I have been involved in previous ballots, but as a sitting arbitrator I thought I would offer prospective candidates a summary of my experience on the committee. This advice is not intended to banally restate truisms, so it instead asks whether a candidate has thought about, or will be prepared to do, certain things. If you are a candidate or prospective candidate and you think you will not be able to do anything that this guide asks you to "be prepared" to do, then I submit that you may not be suited to working on the committee. Whether you take my advice is your decision, but I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
