User:Triona/Fixing RFA

This is a work in progress, I'm gathering up my ideas for fixing RFA.

=Nominations=

Nominations should require three persons other than the candidate to act as nominators. This is to discourage nominations that are unlikely to have a chance at success.

=30 day trial period?=

A 30 day trial period would provide the opertunity to demonstrate firsthand that one can use admin tools safely and effectively. Accordingly, this could be a stepping stone to full adminship.

=Confirmation Hearings=

In place of the current voting process, confirmation hearings would vastly streamline the adminship process, while maintaining a degree of integrity. A panel would review fully completed requests for adminship, and could, depending on the details of the application and formal standards, treat the application as successful on its merits alone, treat the application as unsuccessful based on formal standards of disqualification, or refer the application to the community on the basis of one or more issues.

Community petitions could also be used to open an application to a full community discussion, either on specific points or on general merits.
