Editors wishing to join the committee are invited to submit a nomination, which will be assessed by mediators who are already appointed. Nominations should outline the editor's experience in dispute resolution and demonstrate that they hold the trust of the community. While there is no list of requirements for candidates, the role of a formal mediator is complicated and intensive, so candidates must be:

Prospective mediators usually self-nominate (and are always welcome to do so), but current members of the committee also prospectively scout for new members and have nominated non-members in the past. Editors who have not been approached by a current member should never presume that this indicates their nomination would be unsuccessful.

To submit a nomination, see here. Open nominations are automatically listed by the Bot at . Once opened, the nomination will be advertised on the committee's internal mailing list, and any current or emeritus member of the committee has the ability to vote on the nomination. Nominations which attract the opposition of two or more mediators will be unsuccessful. Candidates may re-apply to join the committee no earlier than three months after a previous, unsuccessful nomination.

The Committee maintains a private mailing list, called (abbreviated to medcom-l), for internal discussion between its members. Editors who wish to contact the committee in private should direct their messages to the mailing list through the form at User:Mediation Committee.

The Mediation Committee policy documents how the Mediation Committee, its mediators, and the formal mediation process operates. This policy is maintained by the Committee and is considered an authoritative codification of how Committee matters should be conducted.
