You could try, but generally speaking we operate under a longstanding
set of carefully grown and slowly changing conventions. At least to
date, my method of listening very carefully and working very hard to try
to bring together a very broad consensus about a way forward means that
my special role in the 'constitutional framework' of Wikipedia has
proven to be more often useful than not, and of course I intend to do my
best to continue to the best of my abilities with good faith and concern
for all.

Disscussion of changes to election procedures were held at
[[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2005/Proposed
modifications to rules]]. In the spirit of slow change those were
started in august. you now appeart to be trying to rush thing through
in about 48 hours. If you want to refore the system why can't you wait
for next years elections like everyone else?
