#{{ACE Question

|Q=Criticism of arbitration decisions is inevitable. This criticism is often expressed in strong and personal terms. As an arbitrator, how will you respond to criticism, either of you personally or the committee as a whole? Do you think it will it affect your ability to remain objective?

|A=I am pretty much unbothered by nonconstructive criticism as long as I know I have done the best I can. If the criticism is constructive, and provided with what I feel is an aim to engender improvement or highlight a real issue, then I will listen to it and engage with the critic. It would be breathtakingly arrogant to assume either I personally or the Committee as a whole are perfect and should not always be looking to improve.}}

|Q=Actively serving as an arbitrator takes quite a lot of time and energy. Given that you "do not particularly want to be on the Arbitration Committee", how do you plan to maintain the motivation to do so if you are elected?

|A=I have plenty of time and energy, and should I be elected to serve I will do so to the best of my abilities. That I do not want to do this job is because I am fully aware of how demanding it can be, but I want to help the project and the community and if the community feels I should be elected then I will do my best. If there are 11 (or more) good candidates who I feel would make good arbitrators (and we're not far off) I will cheerfully withdraw knowing that I'm not needed.}}
