Indeed it would.  But where are we exactly, locally?  Do we at the UC-IMC
have at present a conflict resolution system that WORKS, one that I'm not
aware of?  :)  Where should I go to see these "documents, procedures, and
protocols"?  More importantly, how are we going about the process of
implementing them here at the UC-IMC?  Sascha may be able to recall a
conversation we had just YESTERDAY that relates intimately to this very
theme, and no mention was made of any formal conflict resolution structure
or procedure that is in place.

Enquiring minds, etc.
