[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] Elliot Hughes

[hol at gaskill.com]

 the mediator should compile all this info which takes some time. i
think the practice has been to solicit volunteers to handle mediation of
any known conflicts at the next membership meeting. there are a few
known events that i think people would prefer not to broadcast details
about over the list, for elliot's sake.

At one house I was involved ith, a list would be made, at the meeting withouth the individual, then each issue/incident was addressed with the individual present, so that each and every issue/incident was available for discussion/explanation/etc.
