Questions from Kirill Lokshin
I suspect I already know your answers to most of these, but I suppose I might as well ask you the same questions I've been asking everyone else: <OL>

Questions from Rschen7754
Note that some of the questions were recycled from 2008, but have been trimmed down. I will evaluate these and a few other characteristics based on a (private) rubric to determine my level of support. Please note that if you are not an administrator, have not been here for a substantial length of time, or have a statement that is not written seriously, this will drastically affect your score.

Further note: Since you were a serving member of the Arbitration Committee and a clerk as well, I will take that into account when scoring (in the event that questions 1 and 10 are slightly awkward).

The first 10 questions are short answer questions. The next question determines your ability to go through evidence. The last question is a bit open-ended.

Questions from Lar
Note to readers: This is a copy of User:Lar/ACE2009/Questions. These questions were taken from last year and modified to fit changes in circumstance.

Note to respondents: in some cases I am asking about things that are outside ArbCom's remit to do anything about. I am interested in your thoughts even so. Note also that in many cases I ask a multi part question with a certain phrasing, and with a certain ordering/structure for a reason, and if you answer a 6 part question with a single generalized essay that doesn't actually cover all the points, I (and others) may not consider that you actually answered the question very well at all. For those of you that ran last year, feel free to cut and paste last year's answers if you still feel the same way, but some of the questions have changed a bit or expanded.

<OL>

</OL> These are not easy questions. Thanks for your thoughtful answers. In particular I note we had a slight disagreement on Opt Out (see User_talk:Lar/ACE2008 and I wonder if a year "in the barrel" has changed your view. ++Lar: t/c 17:54, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Questions from Martintg
In regard to your role as drafting Arbitrator in the EEML case, could you explain: <OL>

Questions from Avraham
Thank you for stepping forward to volunteer for what I know is a thankless, exhausting, nerve-wracking, emotionally draining, and real-life-affecting position here in EnWiki. For your courage alone, I salute you. I apologize if these questions replicate any above. If they do, please feel free to cut-and-paste your response here. Also, for any question with subquestions, please feel free to answer bthe subquestions only. Thank you very much. -- Avi (talk) 17:07, 16 November 2009 (UTC) <OL>
