a template for a CAcert arbitration announcement (email)
Dear Parties,
I am the appointed Arbitrator for the dispute case a200YMMDD.n, as documented here [1]: http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/Arbitrations/a200YMMDD.n
Let us start with some preliminaries.
- Please reply to this email and confirm that you accept the Arbitration under the CAcert Community Agreement [2] and the Dispute Resolution Policy [3].
- The governing law will be that of NSW, Australia. It is possible to request a change of law, but it is unlikely to be helpful in this case.
- You each need to notify me if you are seeking legal counsel (a lawyer). This is not recommended. Rather, if you feel the need for help, I can ask an experienced Assurer to assist you.
- The next thing I would like both sides to do is to prepare a short email that outlines their viewpoint. No longer than a page, please!
Finally, please remember: this forum is about sorting out our common difficulties and improving our ability to secure ourselves. Unlike other forums, we will all be required to work together after this Arbitration, so I ask you to maintain a positive and helpful spirit at all times!
XXXXX, Arbitrator.
