Case seems to have been abandoned by the user. Will close case in a week (on Mon 9 Oct) if no response is given. Matter will not be resolvable if one party abandons mediation case. The entry is also complex given the political tensions. If the need should arise, a RfC may be in order. Any party to this (or mediator/admin) is free to comment. Jsw663 18:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Closing. --Ideogram 10:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
