Karen, a representative from the Skyesburg mayor's office asked Daniel, a conflict mediator, to help resolve a large$-$scale, long$-$term dispute in a local neighborhood. "The dispute revolves around plans to extend the city's light rail system into the neighborhood," explained Karen. "Some residents support the expansions, while others are strongly opposed."

"How many people are involved?" asked Daniel. "And how long has it been going on$?"$

"I don't have any solid numbers for you," Karen responded, looking at her notes. $"$It has been going on for months, though, and the community meetings on the issue attract quite a crowd."

Daniel said, $$Okay$,$ I$$m going to ask you for some information about the situation$$ contact numbers and so on$.$ Then I$$ll start talking with people in the neighborhood to see who we need to work with and what the history of the situation looks like. It might be a while before we can pull together a meeting.$$
