Top five features to look for in a candidate

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Have they demonstrated good ethics, critical thinking skills, and good ole common sense?
4. Has the candidate demonstrated bias or favoritism? It is extremely important for arbs to be neutral.
5. Do they have a mind of their own, and are capable of separating themselves from groupthink?
