Since mediation are usually done by only one mediator, how do you think 
we could do this ? It happened that some cases were discussed a bit with 
other mediators, for support, but since mediation is private; and what 
is said is private, how could the opinion of the full committe have more 
weight that the opinion of the mediator only ?

How are we supposed to give our opinion on a mediation we know little 
about ?
