Maxim

I'm Maxim, and I have been an administrator and bureaucrat for several years, and an arbitrator for the past year. In the past year, I've helped draft two cases—Medicine and RHaworth. Arguably I am more active behind the scenes, particularly on functionary-related matters and unblock appeals. Outside of arbitration activities, I have been doing some work at SPI in the past year, which was an outgrowth from handling unblock appeals (over 90%+ involve checkuser blocks).

I have a couple of reasons for running again. I think I've done a decent job in the past year; some editors whom I hold in high regard have suggested that I keep doing it. Additionally, I don't have an aversion to the job (yet!), and as cynical a reason as that may be, my observation of past arbitrators and committees suggests that not having a distaste for the job is significant in a positive way.

As a sitting arbitrator, I am already compliant with the Foundation's policies on access to non-public information. My sock-drawer is declared to arbcom and includes User:Maximr, User:Maxim's JS test account and a few others in my user creation log (I forget passwords to test accounts from time to time).
