[Imc-tech] Re: mediation proposal (~=CONFLICT RESOLUTION)

[Paul Kotheimer]

hi all also,

just as a jargon clarification, "MEDIATION" is a term folks have been

if "CONFLICT RESOLUTION" at the IMC has been an issue-of-interest to you,
please do take a look at the "MEDIATION" proposal Sascha's talking about
here.

thanks
