The impartial third member shall be determined as follows: either party may request the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service to furnish a list of five (5) persons from which the parties shall within five (5) working days of receipt of such list agree upon selection of the third member or determine by lot the order of elimination and thereafter each shall in that order alternately eliminate one (1) name until only one name remains. The remaining person on the list shall be the impartial third member. The expenses of the third impartial member shall be borne fully by the non- prevailing party.

Both parties to the grievance shall prepare an outline detailing the items or issues in dispute setting forth any relevant background, facts, data, or arguments in support of their position for presentation to the Review Board. The Review Board shall, by majority vote, render a final and binding bench decision to resolve the dispute upon conclusion of the review process. No decision of the Board shall be considered a precedent for the disposition of any other case submitted to the Board, or to formal arbitration, or to any other dispute resolution forum.
