If I'd thought that one future day they'd get handed the authority
to arbitrate in any way stronger than they now can (by blocking,
page locking, etc) it would certainly have been less "no big deal"
and a lot more "let's screen these people very carefully".
All right, then. How would you suggest we choose them?

I can see something like the current Mediation Committee request
process working: a sort of unstructured request, with general
agreement from the community and no veto by the arbcom, to form a pool
of people to draw from.
I do think as some others have that not every suitable admin would be
a suitable arbitrator/magistrate/clerk -- though quite a few would.
It's a few additional skills and a more specific sort of personality
required.
