That sounds good to me.  I think that the mediation-l (and the
arbitration-l) should probably be private, to allow mediators to discuss
cases between themselves and ask for advice without breaking
confidentiality.  But I can see that this might be considered as overly
secretive and elitist (if that's the word)- so I'm open to argument.

What's the best way to contact them to ask for a list to be started?
Perhaps we could start with a private list - to be opened up if that is the
consensus?
