Parties' agreement to WJBscribe's offer
, an experienced administrator and user who has plentiful dispute resolution experience, has agreed to take this case after an offer was extended to him by myself, a member of the Committee. However, as WJBscribe is not a member of the Committee at present (although he has a nomination pending at present, which has my unreserved support due to his vast experience and proven ability), it is a generally accepted practice that the parties must consent to a non-Committee member mediating a RfM.

As such, can I ask that all parties to the mediation please list whether they "agree" or "disagree" to WJBscribe mediating below, in much the same format as the initial agreement above. Voting will last seven days, from May 12.

I apologise for the delay in action on this case. Due to absences by a number of the members of the Committee, there has been a backlog. Please note that if consent isn't given by all parties above within seven days, then you will have to wait for a Committee mediator, which could take a fair while at the present rate. On all accounts, I encourage you to take WJBscribe's offer, however the choice is, of course, yours.
