Top five features to look for in a candidate
- Do they have the time to devote? An arb who doesn't take the time to read the diffs in context are doing a disservice to the accused as well as to the project.
- Do they have the proper demeanor? Mannerism and attitude are extremely important. Yes, we are all human, but arbitrators are supposed to be a cut above the rest, and should be held to a much higher standard.
- Have they demonstrated good ethics, critical thinking skills, and good ole common sense?
- Has the candidate demonstrated bias or favoritism? It is extremely important for arbs to be neutral.
- Do they have a mind of their own, and are capable of separating themselves from groupthink?
- See Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions/2021 review/Consultation as it is a big part of what is driving my position for this election.
