As far as I know, that's currently included in the first part of the process. The council member who takes charge of the complaint at the start of the process first attempts mediation as a remedy. That's probably also what the review panel will do. This is a question that I encourage you to put to the council. It's in a very good position to address what the review panel will put into practice. That, for example, could be included in the rules we discussed a little earlier, the procedural rules that the council might put into practice at the review panel stage.
The process becomes slightly more contradictory once a complaint is laid before the review panel and a public hearing is held. The situation, which slightly more resembles that of a court, then becomes more difficult, not just because the process is contradictory, but also because the misconduct is serious. In the circumstances, the misconduct could be serious enough to warrant removal, in which case a mediation process might perhaps be less helpful. However, mediation could be part of the review panel process.
