I confess that I have always been a little astounded by the trust the community has shown in me but it seems I find myself asking once again if I have your confidence. I have been a bureaucrat for roughly a year and an administrator for just under two. I have also been chairing Wikipedia's [[WP:MC|Mediation Committee]] since January. I am proud of what I have achieved in those capacities and now I am offering to serve on the Arbitration Committee.
A lot of mistakes have been made by the Committee - especially in the past year - and there is often little sign of it learning from them. The Wikipedia community is now looking for a change of direction from the Committee and there are several areas in particular where I believe learning from past failures is a priority:
:''Transparency''. Whilst some deliberations may have to occur privately, there is much that could be brought into the open. I think it important that ArbCom give more thought to whether an issue truly ''needs'' to be discussed in private and, if not, move the discussion to the wiki.
