Since there was no opposition, and several strong supports for Jwrosenzweig as the new chair of the mediation committee, I boldly made it so.
Kate set up a mediation mailing list, which access should be restricted to mediators only.
Next steps are to get mediators registered to this list, and that a moderator is named for handling registrations. Also, some candidates are still waiting to be named mediators.
Our new mediator, Improv, is willing to make things move, and planning a meeting with a whole lot of things to discuss. Planning a meeting on irc is tough; so possibly, some of these things can be discussed on the new mailing list ? Thanks to him anyway :-)
