 From my understanding we're essentially at a "good enough" working 
draft of policies, which should be available in short order.  I believe 
the new procedure will be essentially "ask for arbitration, and if 4 
members of the committee agree, the case is heard".  There's more 
explained in the policy, which I don't think has been posted yet (unless 
I just can't find it), but the gist of it that normally only cases that 
have had some attempt to mediate will be heard, but that's decided on a 
case-by-case basis (we're not going to force people to go through 
mediation that's obviously pointless from the start, because that just 
wastes the mediation committee's time, and turns them into a waypoint on 
the road to banning, while they're supposed to be a problem-resolution 
committee that makes bans unnecessary).
