*::@[[User:Primefac|Primefac]] as the number of functionaries is rightfully limited, adding a functionary whose appointment will limit their ability to exercise their ability (either here ''for'' our community, or in their capacity as oversight ''of'' our community). I also don't think the prior examples were appropriate; the OC is '''very limited''' in capacity and setting up a situation where they are less effective in the audit of actions in our community is something I see as a negative. None of this reservation is specific to the candidate. WP:CUOS is an arbitrary process from the enwiki communities perspective, so there is no reason it has to happen "now". A possible workaround would be that arbcom can appoint this candidate when they are no longer elsewise engaged in the OC. I would also prefer that existing functionaries that want to join the OC in the future resign from being local functionaries during their term, specifically so they don't have to recuse from potential conflicts and can better serve the communities. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 09:54, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
*:::I'm a little surprised by this. Resigning your bits doesn't make you impartial. As a steward, for example, just because we hang up our bits at our homewiki, it doesn't make us impartial from the situation and magically we can operate in that territory. We have already formed opinions on members of the community and that will be reflective in the work that is done. The reason why we have to recuse from our homewiki is because of the relationships, not the bits. Further, the idea that self-recusal from the OC would somehow lose effectiveness or ability because one member has to step out is misguided. The operation of the OC is meant to extend the right of review to all wikis, not just enwiki. The number of cases that I saw affecting an enwiki functionary during my OC term vs. the rest of our case load was a fraction. Enwiki is not the be all, end all of wikis, there is still plenty of other work to be doing on the OC in the meantime while you sit out a homewiki case. -- [[User talk:AmandaNP|<span style="color:white;background-color:#8A2DB8"><b>Amanda</b> (she/her)</span>]] 12:00, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
