I completely agree with Cimon. If participants in
mediation have followed all the steps of the dispute
resolution process, mediation has failed, and the
mediation committee recommends arbitration, is there
any reason the arbitrators still need to vote on
whether to accept the case? Can they not trust the
mediation committee to make these referrals? 

The necessity to go through the additional stage of
voting on acceptance of cases seems a waste of time if
the mediators have already decided that arbitration is
the best route for the person they are referring. I'm
not saying they can't veto the referral if they really
think that's best, but couldn't the default be
acceptance of cases we refer to them rather than the
insistence of a vote every time?

Angela.
