In my previous post I forgot to mention that we have already tested 2 different settings:

Setting #1 – The 3 participants/mediators are anywhere in the world – as long as they have Skype

Setting #2 – Any number of participants (one mediator or two comediators, two or more parties, parties' attorneys or observers) are physically in the same room – around the mediation table. This setting is particularly useful to mediation training classes. We will use this setting next month (May 2012) to run a series of simulations with students of the Hawaii Pacific University.
