==The perception of your case==

At any time, there are twenty or more active cases in Arbitration, almost 200 closed ones, a stack in mediation and a handful of RFCs under way. Individuals cannot keep close track of each of these. If you mention a user anything to a user not intimately involved in the current process they are not likely to remember particular details of the argument or which POV that user was advocating.

Write your evidence and proposals so that they help jog everyone's memories. Assume that every time a user pulls up the RFC page, or the discussion page, they won't remember what was concluded last time or elsewhere. They are not clueless - but they need information.
