Mediator --- Thanks Chloe. Sometimes there is resort to a mediator for the whole issue on the table, sometimes the resort is to an expert on a technical issue. Sometimes it is to a group - I gave an example in response to a point about negotiating texts earlier in this module text of a very small group tasked with the production of a single negotiating text for the drafting of what is now the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Mediators can take many forms and if they're unsuccessful they can be replaced.
