Hey - not sure if late but I want to make the point James would be a good addition to the moderation team despite the objection(s).

People who have raised issues with James being in the moderation team were concerned with James being involved with controversies or requiring self-moderation. I think this is something we can say about most people who have been in the project for a while. I fully trust James to know not to mix personal preferences or past grievances and be an impartial and objective moderator that brings a lot of context and experience to the table.

I also trust James to recuse himself from discussions relating to issues where he has familiarity with the topic. While we don't always agree on everything we've always been able to collaborate effectively and reach an understanding.

I also think it's important that there are certain individuals with the project and that the project works with that believe James "speaks for them" and trust him more than most of the existing moderation team to represent their interests in CoC reports.

So for these reasons I am a strong +1 on James for the moderation team.

@benjamingr are you ok for being the one closing this?

We are still missing soe votes (or time) though?

[mcollina]

yes

Given additional feedback I've received, I'm going to withdraw my self-nomination here. Sorry for the wasted effort. Hopefully others will step up and volunteer to help with moderation. The vote can be closed.
