Shell Kinney

Without pointing specific fingers there are a lot of things broke about the way ArbCom works at the moment - mailing list leaks that haven't been plugged, super secret trials and information - tons of things that seemed like silly little flea bites when they started are now out of control festering sores that no one knows how to fix. I'm afraid my style is a bit more cauterize the wounds and a bit less touchy-feely recovery, but I think some honesty, frankness and transparency might just be the things that can turn around some of these disturbing trends.

  19. Given the candidate's lengthy history in dispute resolution I'd expect to see more opposers taking issue with Shell's performance as a dispute mediator. The lack of criticism on these grounds, on top of her thoughtful answers, suggests to me she'd make a good and pretty impartial Arbitrator. -- JayHenry ( talk) 06:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC) reply
