Look, I'm happy with the board appointing trusted people to use checkuser. I don't mind if this is delegated to arbcom.
But I'm not happy at all about having a RFA-style beauty contest for people to use checkuser. Nope. This isn't how we do things associated with privacy.
The notion that consensus *alone* can determine who is entitled to checkuser rights is laughable. The effectiveness of RFA in culling inappropriate candidates from admin rights lately has been quite poor; I dread to think what the results would be of letting checkuser get handed out this way
No, sorry, this simply won't do.
