Transformative Mediation for your Code of Conduct & Community Management Toolkit - Joanna Lee, Gesmer Updegrove LLP

Transformative Mediation is a powerful tool that can used by Code of Conduct Committees, project leaders, and community members to resolve conflict and respond to Code of Conduct incidents. Transformative Mediation (TM) is a specific approach to mediation that addresses conflict at its core. Rather than imposing a resolution on the parties, TM facilitates understanding and supports and empowers the individuals involved in their own efforts to resolve conflict and improve their interactions. In this presentation, we’ll discuss how TM differs from other types of mediation and why it’s better-suited for resolving conflict in open source communities than more traditional forms of mediation.
