Thank you, Joe, for correcting your information.

I still strongly oppose ZRW being allowed back into the Omni without a written agreement signed by him that he understands and will comply with Omni community agreements, and that he understands that he will be banned again if he does not. Also, the delegates need to agree on the outcome of the mediation, which was supposed to be between Omni and ZRW. It needs to be written so that ZRW can't say that somebody in the mediation said it was ok for him to do something that isn't actually ok.

The mediation I participated in at Seeds on an unrelated matter ended with a written agreement between the parties, and my understanding from that was that it is a standard practice.

Since the delegates haven't agreed to a written agreement coming out of the mediation, ZRW should not be given a key. He has already requested one.

Joe, in response to your last paragraph. ZRW does need some community based help. It might be good for him to be a part of the Omni community if he can abide by our community agreements. However, it is not Omni's responsibility to get him that help. Any Omni member or members who wants to do that can just do it on their own.

I jumped to soon Thursday night, when I heard that our Mediation
(ZRW and me, sort of) was deemed and documented "Complete".
I had heard nada about any of this (I did leave the Mediation about
10 min. early) so I blurted out something (that ZRW had slashed a
friend's tires) that was confirmed only by my friend's son.  ZRW
has done NO SUCH THING. I apologize to all especially ZRW.
Of course this leaves me more able to let go of what I thought was a non-
mediation.  I hope we can offer ZRW a place in our community that will
nurture peace and growth in all of us. I hope we all realize that this is a
community size endeavor.
 I have been trying since FNB came into OOC to protect OOC
from things like ZRW has done in the past. I had to find a standard with
which to guide that job. Perhaps I played it too hard.
I salute BAPS for reaching out to ZRW.
Finally, I'd like to say ZRW's "completion" of Mediation and
then membership in BAPS, and therefore Omni Commons, happened
too fast for me to be informed.
Laura: It makes practical, emotional, and responsible to ask ZRW to sign
an agreement with the destructive past he has blazed.  However the most
recent person to have offered his computer for Zrw to work at, has pleaded
to me, that ZRW needs several kinds of community baed help and OC
as a community resource would do well to take on that responsibility.
Be Well, All
joe
