[WikiEN-l] Root and Branch - it's the only way.

The arbitration committee's proposed rule include votes on acceptance of
cases, including cases referred by the mediation committee. At least 4
arbitrators must accept jurisdiction. Now what happens to cases not
accepted... depends on the nature of the problem. For example, the complaint
that Anthony started a fork, likely to be not accepted because he broke no
Wikipedia or indeed Wiki rule, nothing happens. Complaints considered too
trivial, again nothing, but the parties might consider negotiation or
mediation. Compaints that are too much for us to deal with would go to
Jimbo.

Please, let us invest the Mediation Committee with an explicit
power of binding referral to the Arbitration Committee. No coming
back to the Mediation Committee, and asking: "Did you *really* try
mediation already?" If the Mediation Committee *independently*
decides that Arbitration is the way to go, they can initiate it on
their own say so, without the Arbitration Committee second
guessing the Mediation Committee.
