At least two women, Angela and I, /were/ available for the arbitration committee. Both of us expressed a preference for mediation but an availability for arbitration. Jimbo went with our preference and that's fine, but since Alex pointed out the apparently all male arbitration committee I've thought that this is an issue that should be addressed if possible.
I agree with all of this. I just went with each volunteer's preference, and that's the way it ended up. I didn't even notice, which probably proves that I'm very enlightened or very backwards. :-)
But I do think that a sense of balance is important, balance of a number of different kinds, and that this is worthwhile to do if we can.
