I think the way you hold power in your own hands it that you, who are in
contact with the problem, can initiate the conflict resolution procedure,
beginning with talking to the party, asking for mediation, then arbitration.

The arbitration committee (who if they are careful, are not in contact with
the situation, at least not slugging it out) can if a case comes to us,
rather rapidly decide a matter and prescribe a remedy. (A week or two is
very rapid indeed in this context, even hasty).

Fred Bauder, member of the arbitration committee
