Great. One of us should ask the techies to get it set up.

Indeed. Ostensibly, the list would deal with not just specific dispute
resolutions, but with dispute resolution itself - how it works, etc. These
concepts haven't changed much since late 2003, and as such there may need to
be adjustments - people have ideas I'm sure. And of course, dealing with
both specific cases and with general concepts in the same context makes it a
bit of an integration issue. And that's another answer for Alex's question -
integration based on a particular concept. If the concept was Electric
Trains, then of course a separate mailing list wouldn't be justified.
