I would imagine the 3rd person acts as a judge listening to both sides, a negotiator in working out the actual punishment and a mediator in terms of future practices.

Effectively a 1 man panel listening to 2 advocates. 

Hope it's not that $£!tweasel Steve Gibson!

People talking about an "independent panel" but we would all do well to remember there is no such thing as an independent panel. Everyone brings their own biases and agenda to this.

A question that might be informed by the Wendies verdict: does anyone know if the panel has to be unanimous in their ruling or if they can split 2-1 to deliver their verdict?

The Wednesday report said unanimous.

The person selected by the club does not argue for the club. It just gives the club a say in the make up of the panel. Each member of the panel has to be independent and impartial.

So how is that person selected? Does the totally independent person give a list of candidates and each party chooses one? I can see each side being able to veto a candidate, but not how they can choose one.
