Settle how?  Does this position (as proposed) have any power to make
decisions or is it more intended to try and find a common ground through
discussions and negotiations?

When is it appropriate to use this ombudsman?  How does one contact the
person?  Are disputes logged and/or public?

I have my own thoughts and opinions on this idea, but I want to make sure I
fully understand the proposal first.
