Parties' agreement to Tariqabjotu's offer

Tariqabjotu (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), an experienced administrator and skilled mediator, has expressed an offer to take this case as a possible lead-up to a nomination to join the Mediation Committee. However, as Tariqabjotu is not a member of the Committee at present, it is a generally accepted practice that the parties must consent to a non-Committee member mediating a RfM.

As such, can I ask that all parties to the mediation please list whether they "agree" or "disagree" to Tariqabjotu mediating below, in much the same format as the initial agreement above.

I apologise for any delay in action on this case. Please note that if consent isn't given by all parties above within seven days, then you will have to wait for a member of the Committee to mediate, which will take an undetermined period of time. On all accounts, I encourage you to take Tariqabjotu's offer, however the choice is, of course, yours.
