That is a role that mediation should play.

Why separate "mediation" from "arbitration"? Why such complicated
dispute resolution procedures? It is almost as if we want to make
it hard and complicated to resolve disputes, something you can only do
if you are determined. What is the logic behind that?
Wouldn't mediation work better if the parties knew that the mediator
seeking a resolution to a dispute/behaviour problem had the ready
means to impose a sanction on any parties deemed not to be
cooperating? Iron fist in the velvet glove. At present, in the
case of real a behaviour problem (as opposed to a good-faith
difference of opinion) mediation is a hoop people have to jump through
to get to arbitration, and anyway it is broken.
