I completely agree with Cimon. If participants in
mediation have followed all the steps of the dispute
resolution process, mediation has failed, and the
mediation committee recommends arbitration, is there
any reason the arbitrators still need to vote on
whether to accept the case? Can they not trust the
mediation committee to make these referrals?
Let's not confuse recommendations by the entire mediation committee (majority
vote) with recommendations by a single mediator. The first should be
seriously considered, of course. But only so many cases can be worked on at one
time so we still need to regulate the process.
