I think the Mediation Committee can also refer a matter to arbitration. At least it /said/ it can.
For the moment, to keep the load on them down while they continue finalizing their procedures, the arbitration committee has asked that I stand between them and various cases, referring only those for which there's a crucial need.
Must there be a prescribed order? A lot of us don't want to wait 2 whole weeks! Even 5 days seems like a lifetime around here...
I think you're right, and we can all remember that this is a good faith effort to feel our way forward carefully. Things will get better as we learn what works and what doesn't.
Believe me, I want this whole thing to be fast and efficient. If it isn't, then I'm going to continue to be in the middle of such fights, and that's a job I want to be out of completely by at least the end of this year, if not by much sooner.
