The idea is to have a mailing list for the general membership to discuss dispute resolution, including information about ongoing controversies. This sort of discussion already occurs on the functionaries and the arbitrators list. This list would not have a restricted membership.
Would you be a bit more specific, Fred; do you mean discussing the process of dispute resolution?
I has already been stated twice or thrice in this thread that general discussion of "dispute resolution" itself would be within the scope of the "dispute resolution" mailing list. Several have voiced support for the use of this list for any range of legitimate dispute resolution issues --large and small. AGK gave a very straightforward rebuttal to the idea that a list need be confined in accord to narrow frameworks.
In any case it does not make too much sense to prejudice a concept with loaded questions about its scope before it has even been tested in the field.
