I've been active on Wikipedia since 2007, and currently assist Wikipedia in my roles as an Administrator, Checkuser, and Arbitration Committee Clerk. I unfortunately can't show off any GA or FA badges, not having any and not doing a great amount of editorial work in general, but I have done a good amount of work with SPI through the checkuser tool, reviewing block requests as an administrator, and assisting the Arbitration Committee in my role as a clerk.
It's my opinion that while there are some problems with the general Arbitration Process, in general it's preferable to the alternative of having nothing at all of this nature. That is not to say, however, that the Arbitration Committee is beyond repair. It will never be perfect, by which I mean universally popular, because such things never are (if that's not a law of nature, it should be). We can still do what we can to make the best of what we've got, and that's what I hope to do if elected to a position on the Committee. Unfortunately, I tend to be rather verbose in situations like this, and so my goals and explanations of them won't fit in this statement. Therefore, I'll just list the goals here, and ask everyone to review User:Hersfold/Platform for my explanations and details thereof.
Improve communication between the Committee and the Community.
Improve communication between the Committee and the Clerks.
Get stuff done faster.
Sterner sanctions.
Community de-adminship.
Balance my workload better.
Thank you all for your consideration, and best of luck to all who run.
