I've been asked to be a mediator, by Jack Lynch (seconded by Danny)
re: RK.
First, what exactly you are mediating? "Re. RK" is a rather broad concept; moreover, mediation implies two parties.
Not exactly sure. I'm getting a general sense that they "don't like him". If it doesn't get any more specific than that, this could turn into a non-starter.
I invite those who know me well (and who have earned my trust) to contact me privately /immediately upon/ seeing any signs of bias on my part
that
may tend to sabotage the mediation.
Second, aren't mediations handled more or less confidentially? Or do you plan to debate things on a public page or mailinglist?
Oh, not to mention: "signs of obvious incompetence". I guess we won't be mediating on wikien-l.
P.S. Gosh, I wear a lot of hats!
Well I hope for your sake that this one doesn't turn out to be a crown
of thorns!
