==Questions and comments==
===Some questions being asked of all the candidates by jguk===
''Q: How old are you and what do you do? (If student, please state what subjects you are studying.)''
A: I'm 28 years old. I'm an analyst/developer for a small publishing company in Boston.
''Q: How many hours a month do you think you will need to be a good Arbitrator and are you really willing to put in the time?''
A: The amount of time required to be a good Arbitrator depends mainly on the quantity and complexity of cases. The ArbCom is currenly overwhelmed with cases, with 10 requests, 12 in the evidence phase, and 5 in the voting phase. I would estimate that an average of one hour per day (30 hours per month) would be necessary. If I were to be elected, I would make the necessary time commitment.
''Q: If chosen, you will need to arbitrate on disputes arising from the creation or revision of articles. Experience of creating and revising articles yourself, particularly where it has involved collaboration, is very valuable in understanding the mindset of disputants who come to arbitration. With reference to your own edits in the main article namespace, please demonstrate why you think you have the right experience to be a good arbitrator.''
A: ''Coming soon''
''Q: Please list out what other Wikipedia usernames you have edited under.''
A: My original username was [[User:Carrp|Carrp]]. I edited under this name from November 2004 - March 2005.
==Request from Dragons flight==
Arbcom is overworked and no fun. Please review these discussions: [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-October/thread.html#29915][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/RFC] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2005/Proposed_modifications_to_rules] Come up with a short list of suggestions for ways you would endorse for improving the arbitration process. Bonus points for actually managing to create new policy. [[User:Dragons flight|Dragons flight]] 07:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
== Relevant experience==
What experience do you have that would be relevant? Have you dealt with the Arbcom or Mediation committee yourself? Have you been part of an RFC (involving either yourself or others)? A lot of arbcom tasks involve reading a lot of less-than-brilliant prose and writing concise opinions; do you have any experience in Wikipedia or in other venues that might relate?
