:Hi there. I am Tom aka Guerillero. I am a current administrator and oversighter. At some point in the recent past, I have been an ArbCom clerk and a member of the AUSC. I ran for ArbCom in [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2012/Candidates/Guerillero/Statement|2012]] and [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2013/Candidates/Guerillero/Statement|2013]] where I lost by a narrow margin. In my real life, I am a student of Anthropology and Philosophy. I also work at a GIS lab where I deal with nonpublic information.
 
This term I would like to see an update to how the AUSC and the BASC works. As a former member of the AUSC, I would like to see it have more autonomy and teeth than it does now. I will push for the community member of the AUSC to be directly elected by the community rather than picked by ArbCom.  While Beeblebrox's proposal has some flaws, it is part of the way there. I would like to push for it to be spun off into a committee that is separate from ArbCom. If I failed to include anything relevant here, please take a look at my past statements and questions.
 
This year, like last year, there will be some questions about my work load. I do graduate from college in May. Since last year’s election, I have found a way to merge my Anthropology and Philosophy theses into a single 30 page project.  (I am looking at how Foucault’s idea of a [[panopticon]] translates into behavior online and if the knowledge of being watched builds different power structures.) In addition to working on that, I am taking two classes. This upcoming term should be my least stressful term since my freshman year and I do not foresee either my thesis or either of my classes making it difficult to complete the role of an arbitrator.
 
;The fine print
*I am over 18 years of age
*I have access to OS and already have identified to the WMF
*The only other account worth taking about is {{User|In actu}} any other account was for [[User:Guerillero (ACIP)|a single test]] or a [[User:GuerilleroMessageBot|failed idea that only has an account for saving purposes]].
 
;Note for questioners
I reserve the right to refuse to answer any questions that I deem to be rehashing an ArbCom case that you were involved in, axe grinding or out of scope of the responsibilities of the committee.  I also reserve the right to answer this year’s version of a question with a reply that I have used in past years.
