Introduce yourself, the two parties for which you are mediating and the topic for which you are composing a facilitation report. Explain your qualification for acting as a mediator between the two groups, including past experience mediating, past facilitation reports composed and prior knowledge or lack of knowledge with the two parties involved.
Engage in a detailed analysis and comparison of the two positions upon which your report will focus. Describe each position thoroughly, being careful to accurately represent each proposal or request.
Assess each proposal, identifying both strengths and weaknesses within each. Common elements of a proposal to assess include evidence, argumentation and feasibility.
List two or three recommendations based on your description and assessment of the competing parties' positions. If the two groups for which your report mediates work together, at least one of your recommendations should focus on the reestablishment of professional relations between the two groups.
Support each of your specific recommendations with evidence. This evidence should include elements of each group's initial proposal.
Conclude your report by summarizing the significance of maintaining professional relations, the problem on which your report focuses, the groups involved in the mediation process and your recommendations.
