Look, folks. Can I make this very simple for you. There are only two powers a
mediator needs. One power is the power to convince (through trust) that
everything revealed during the mediation process will be held strictly
confidential, and *never* brought to light otherwise.

The other power a mediator needs is the power to suggest, convincingly, that the
next step, and a next step much more traumatic, is to bring in *arbitrators*
with *much* more powers, and that mediation is much better than arbitration.

It is just that simple.
