I accept your suggestion to put competence first, and will do so.
It is important not to make the RFA process excessively long.  On the one hand, editors who login only once a week should be given a chance to participate.  On the other hand, the candidate should not be left hanging for a long time.  I would be willing to extend the process to 10 days but no further: 3 days for concerns and comments, followed by 7 days voting.  Comments and concerns would be allowed during the voting period. 
If this proposal gains traction - which has not happened yet - we can worry about adding a question on conflict resolution.  My opinion is that this question is not an important part of the process.  Most admin work does not require conflict resolution skills.
