What changed in this edition

This instruction has been substantially revised and should be reviewed in its entirety. It updates language to reflect application to the United States Space Force and charges NDR Program stakeholders to take an active role in employing ADR and conflict management practices appropriate for their transa ctional areas, to include training and resource alignment. For workplace mediations, whether a dispute is appropriate for ADR is a Command/Agency function to be performed by the installation Staff Judge Advocate, and when found appropriate, management is expected to participate in the mediation. DAF mediators who mediate as a “lead” or solo mediator must be certified by the NDR Program. While the guidelines for certification are published separately, this instruction designates three levels of proficiency based on education, training, and experience: Level I (Certified), Level II (Advanced), and Level III (Expert). 1.

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
