• Each Arbiter shall be directed to provide the Regional Officer with information on case status and inventory, and the Regional Officer should verify the report of the Arbiter.

• Ripe cases of Regions CAR, I, II and III may be reassigned to Arbiters of the Legal Services Group to assist in their disposition.

• Temporary detail of Arbiters from Regions V, VI, VII and VIII may be done to assist in disposition of NCR and IV-A cases.

• Disposition quotas shall be enforced on Arbiters where applicable.

• The Regional Officer shall be directed to regularly monitor the inventory of cases and remind the Arbiter of his deficiencies BEFORE the monthly accomplishment report is submitted for presentation in Board meetings.

• The Regional Office shall be directed to submit a monthly report to the Supervising Commissioner on the status and inventory of cases.

• Disciplinary action shall be taken against Arbiters who fail to perform their tasks.
 
WHEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, ADOPTING the said Remedial Measures and DIRECTING the Supervising Commissioners to strictly implement and closely monitor compliance thereof.
