Actually, we are having some serious trouble. I'm thoroughly burned out. Additionally we have deadlocks on a couple of cases.
In fact, the situation is so bad, that I think we should consider alternatives to our current procedures. Is there some other way we could resolved the issues which come to arbitration, perhaps by committees of administrators?
That's an interesting suggestion. Ad-hoc committees, especially if randomly selected somehow (to avoid having the most interested parties pushing themselves on) would have a few advantages. I personally resigned from the arbitration committee because it's a big time commitment with relatively little benefit---I'd rather be spending the time writing articles, or doing something else entirely. But I'd be willing to help out with a case now and then if asked, since that's a much lower level of commitment.
