This way, if the resolution can be handled by just having a calm conversation with the interested parties, then there is no need to make it public. Instead, the mediators would say "A conflict has occurred and a new team needs to be in place". Or maybe something like 1 month duty at a time, but team membership may last beyond a month, if no conflicts were had during that month. IE, you get put on the team, you may "serve" for a year if no conflicts arise. Or you may only server for a month, if a conflict does arrive (I think an upper bounds when no conflicts may not be required, but should be considered if this suggestion is taken to heart at all). > > > -- > Paul M.
