Interpersonal disputes? Again, how is a mailing list better? and what happens when only one party joins the mailing list?
My understanding is that the list would not be a forum for dispute resolution, but rather a forum for discussion of dispute resolution (and of ongoing disputes on enwiki) - and so the problems posed by only one party to a disagreement subscribing wouldn't be a hinderance to operations on the list.
No, but don't you think it might be a hindrance to getting the dispute resolved? Which precise problem are we trying to solve here?

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?

In general, and whenever an issue arises. For example, one topic frequently discussed on the other lists is Biographies of living persons, a policy which originated with Jimbo via the arbcom list.
