As Wikipedia is global, issues arise on a 24 hour basis, so it can be useful to have Committee members available across several time zones to deal with urgent issues as they arise and reach a consensus, and also to prevent fragmenting the Committee when dealing internally with issues, so that members in isolated time zones do not become detached from discussions mainly taking place in one time zone. Would you mind indicating either in which [[List of time zones by country|time zone]] (UTC +/- 0-12) you are located, and/or those hours UTC (0 - 24) in which you are likely to be available (being aware that some people are active on Wikipedia long into the night, and also that some people may not wish to reveal their precise time zone).

:'''A''': I live in London, UK, which is currently UTC 0 ([[Greenwich Mean Time]]). The hours I am available are generally early morning (06:00 to 08:00) or late evening (20:00 to 00:00). I am sometimes available outside those hours, but those are the best times to get hold of me. In terms of general availability, I tend to be around at weekends as well as during the week, but not always. I would indicate to the committee if I was going to be unavailable for an extended period of time. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] ([[User talk:Carcharoth|talk]]) 14:19, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
====Question from Bazonka====
Wikipedia is largely an on-line community, and some editors prefer their activities to remain entirely on-line. However, other Wikipedians engage in off-line, real world Wikipedia activities, such as Wikimeets, outreach work, or training. How much are you currently involved in these off-line activities, and would this be different if you were or were not on the Arbitration Committee?
