Few arbitrators have the content record of Courcelles, who has made strong contributions with three GAs, and over a dozen featured lists. He is clearly a strong content creator. |

Administrative and dispute resolution experience |
As a checkuser, oversighter, former arbitrator, AUSC, admin on Commons, WikiData, and Meta, etc., he clearly has a lot of institutional memory that can provide valuable insight to the committee. |

Sorry to hear about his health problems; that sounds painful, but glad he is able to see now! His inactivity is totally understandable, and his desire to return to contributing to the encyclopedia is totally admirable. This paragraph: "ArbCom does a lot of important things, some of which it does well, some of which it doesn't. Currently, the system pretty much lets 12 of the 14 arbs forget cases even exist for the (too long) they sit at the evidence and workshop phases. The two subcommittees need a complete rethink; Beeblebrox's proposal isn't perfect, but BASC needs to be reformed, and I still think that we need to go back to letting the community pick their "community" members of the AUSC. The committee needs to appoint more functionaries ASAP, the lack of an appointment round this year and normal attrition has led to a few people doing tons of work." is a solid outline that succinctly and effectively addresses the issues with ArbCom, and I trust Courcelles to advocate fixing them. |

This is a tad petty, but we are missing a word here: "Currently, the system pretty much lets 12 of the 14 arbs forget cases even exist for the (too long) they sit at the evidence and workshop phases." Should be a "time" in there; ultimately, though, I see no major issues, and have no recollection of issues with his communication during his previous term. |

An interesting and certainly valid perspective; I was thinking about the question more in terms of not taking another case to defer to rulings of another, but the outline there is quite apt as well. |

"The Five Pillars aren't really what I'd call an essay, I'd almost call them our most fundamental values. They cover, succinctly, what we are, why we're here, what we are doing, and how we should behave. Every principle the Committee passes needs to be mindful of all those fundamentals." Yes! That hits the nail on the head; every great entity has a mission statement, and that is ours. |

"You can never please everyone, but if you are willing to take the time to have a patient, calm conversation, you can usually get to a place where everyone at least understands where the other parties is coming from, and that can be at least enough to calm down things, even though they don't agree." Excellent answer. |

I think the answer does outline a problem that ought to be addressed – the unnecessary rigidity and frankly bureaucracy in how ArbCom runs. It is certainly a valid point. |

There are few who disagree with what he said; what should ArbCom do, though, is the real question. |

To be honest, most of his answer goes right over my head, but some of the themes are things I have heard others address before, and he seems to have a firm grasp on the situation. |

I applaud Courcelles' answer to this one; it shows an amenability to addressing the concern without doing it rashly. That is the ideal trait for which we should look in an arbitrator. |

I am thrilled to see Courcelles' candidacy. To be honest, I knew very little about him until researching him to write this guide, and I must say that I am glad to have done that research; he seems to be an excellent candidate, and I would strongly urge my fellow Wikipedians to support his candidacy. |
