I take it you are announcing your candidacy.

Goodness, I hope so. Certainly we need people who are willing to grab issues by the short and curlies, rather than faff around for days on basic points of policy.

In fact, the situation is so bad, that I think we should consider alternatives to our current procedures. Is there some other way we could resolved the issues which come to arbitration, perhaps by committees of administrators?

Something like - CSN, perhaps? Somehow I skipped over the MfD but I truly think that it was a great alternative to the sluggish arbitration process - input from a varied range of people across the community spectrum, much less of the snipery that goes on at the arb talkpages (Hkelkar 2 springs unpleasantly to mind), enforceable sanctions. Quick, nearly painless. Oh well, not much point talking about the one that got away.
