=Evidence-based Request for Adminship=

This proposal is for an alternative request for adminship model which attempts to remove or reduce the influence of personal grudges, voting blocs, and personal opinion as much as is practical.

Based on qualifications, adminship nominations would fall into one of several categories:


 * Qualified Nomination - a nomination that meets all qualifying factors, without any solid grounds for disqualification.
 * Provisional Nomination - a qualified nomination that has been automatically contested. Provisional nominations are subject to a full RFA discussion.
 * Disqualified Nomination - a nomination that does not meet the requirements for adminship.

The effect of the categories is that qualified nominations will stand for 7 days and be granted adminship, unless evidence is introduced that challenges or outright disqualifies the nomination. Provisional nominations will require a full discussion (7 days) and a an advisory vote (7 more days). Disqualified Nominations are not heard unless the facts of the disqualification are themselves contested.

Challenges
A challenge is a motion to either disqualify a nomination or force it to be subject to a full RFA process based on evidence.

Evidence
Several types of evidence may be presented during the RFA process.

Hard Qualifiers

 * Must not be under any current ArbCom sanction, or if under sanction, must have clearance from ArbCom to apply for adminship.

Soft Qualifiers
Not meeting a "soft" qualifier places a nomination in provisional status - requiring a full "traditional" RFA.
 * 500 edits.
 * 3 active months.
 * 5 supporters in good standing with the community.
 * No 3RR violations within the last 500 edits or 3 months.
 * No blocks for vandalism within the last 1000 edits or 12 months.
 * No previous forced-desysopping.

Disqualifications

 * Forced-desysopping by ArbCom, until overturned by ArbCom
