c) any agreement to use a settlement procedure other than mediation, or, in the absence thereof, any proposal for such other settlement procedure that the party filing the Request may wish to make;
d) any agreement as to time limits for conducting the mediation, or, in the absence thereof, any proposal with respect thereto;
e) any agreement as to the language(s) of the mediation, or, in the absence thereof, any proposal as to such language(s);
f) any agreement as to the location of any physical meetings, or, in the absence thereof, any proposal as to such location;
g) any joint nomination by all of the parties of a Mediator or any agreement of all of the parties as to the attributes of a Mediator to be appointed by the Centre where no joint nomination has been made, or, in the absence of any such agreement, any proposal as to the attributes of a Mediator;
h) a copy of any written agreement under which the Request is made.
(2) Together with the Request, the party or parties filing the Request shall pay the filing fee required by the Appendix hereto in force on the date the Request is filed.
(3) The party or parties filing the Request shall simultaneously send a copy of the Request to all other parties, unless the Request has been filed jointly by all parties.
(4) The Centre shall acknowledge receipt of the Request and of the filing fee in writing to the parties.
