Parties' agreement to Messedrocker's offer
[edit]Messedrocker (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), a very experienced administrator and very capable mediator (and who has served on the Wikinews Arbitration Committee in the past), has accepted an offer to take this case to help out the Mediation Committee with their backlog. However, as Messedrocker is not a member of the Committee at the moment, 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 Messedrocker mediating below, in much the same format as the initial agreement above.
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 Messedrocker's offer, however the choice is, of course, yours.
