Coren
Once more unto the breach.
The past two years have been full of ups and down for the committee. We managed to improve things where we can, yet there is still much work to be done. Some things could go faster, some more transparency is desirable, and some of the way we do things are – in retrospect – catastrophically stupid mistakes. Yet, through all this, the necessity for this work remains, and it gets done.
I've served three years now, and I think I still have something to contribute. My work was no more perfect that anyone else's, and I cannot claim to have been an arbitrator that stood especially out. I tend to be a little more on the "law-and-order" side than most, and a quite bit less conservative than some. I often do not see eye to eye with my colleagues on when and how (and whether) the committee should intervene; after all, such a diverse group is bound to not agree on some things – even on the fundamentals.
I do believe that this diversity, even when it brings friction, is why the committee works at all. We could not hope to serve a community so diverse if we were all of one mind, or if we didn't each bring our own approach to the mix. I hope the community found my voice of value on the committee over the past three years, and I'm up for another two if you'll have me.
For the record, I already comply with all the relevant identification and data access policies (and, indeed, am already so identified as an incumbent), and have no undisclosed user accounts. ( proof of identification)
I have a few bot accounts, only one of which is nominally active: CorenBlockMonBot, CorenANIBot, CorenSearchBot, CorenGoogleBot, and one doppelgänger that never edited to protect my real name. — Coren (talk) 20:53, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
