Case closed
[edit]Further to Francis' withdrawal from this Mediation, I am afraid the only course of action now available is to close. I have held off this for as long as possible, in the hope that a reconsideration would arise; evidently, this is not forthcoming.
Mediation requires the agreement of all parties at all times for it to take place; that one party (and a major one in this dispute, to boot) has stricken his previous agreement, and superseded it with a disagreement, unfortunately falls short of the requirements we hold on the Committee.
To that end, I am closing this case. The ball is now firmly in the parties' court: as a group, formal Mediation has not worked (due to a lack of agreement). The decision is now in your hands as to where to proceed from here on in. Returning to the Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal may be an appropriate course of action.
I'd like to thank Steve Crossin for his advice over these past few days: he's been an invaluable asset.
Good luck in your future attempts at discussing your differences.

- As Anthony above noted, formal mediation cannot proceed here. While returning to MedCab may be an option, perhaps there are alternative methods that can be explored before the case returns to the Mediation Cabal. As for who would mediate the case, I'm not sure who would take the case. I could, and I see that alternative methods and a more active approach needs to be employed for mediation to be successful, but I think that some time without mediation may benefit the parties. If, after then, you'd require mediation still, I'd be happy to have a look at the matter. Best, Steve Crossin Contact/24 11:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
