Kelapstick

 * I am Kelapstick, and for those that don't know me, I have been an administrator since 2013, and an Oversighter since March of this year. I also hold OTRS access, although I don't consider myself a very good OTRS agent (as I don't handle many tickets). As an editor, I have been around since 2006, and have amassed 40,000 edits (including deleted), created about 100 articles (excluding redirects, including DAB pages), have a bunch of DYKs, and one GA. So what will I bring to ArbCom, well hard to say I suppose, I think I am pretty reasonable most of the time. I am able to cut through the chaff to get to the crux of an issue, and I think that's a good thing as an ArbCom member. Also I consider myself pretty up on cultural differences, having spent extensive time working in multiple countries (Canada, US, Australia, and Mongolia), which I think is helpful on a project with such a diverse membership. I am sure you have a bunch of other questions for me about my suitability for this job, and I'll do my best to answer them for you. Now for the bad news, I am heading to Indonesia on 15 November, so there will be a pretty big chunk (I am thinking four or five days) out of this question period where I won't be very responsive (unless Air Canada has put WiFi on trans-Pacific flights, and didn't tell me). I will do my best to respond to what I can between now and then, and when I get to Jakarta. As per the one mandatory question, I have one alternate account,, which you will probably see me use over the course of this process (after Sunday). As I have Oversight access, I have already signed the Foundation's non-public information confidentiality agreement, and will continue to fully comply with the criteria for access to non-public data.
