It is the responsibility of the ADR Coordinator to update such list as needed, making changes when a vacancy occurs or when an increased caseload deems it necessary to add to the list.8.2 In order to ensure that the arbitrator list is comprised of the highest quality individuals, the ADR Coordinator shall oversee the training and shall monitor the ongoing effectiveness of each arbitrator. The ADR Coordinator shall maintain individual arbitrator statistics including, but not limited to, the number of hearings conducted, their appeal rate and their averages.8.3 The ADR Coordinator shall maintain a separate list of attorneys who wish to be become arbitrators once the current list has an available slot. When a vacancy or need to add an arbitrator occurs, the ADR Coordinator shall contact the attorneys on the list, in the order that they appear on such list. Each attorney, depending on the number of new arbitrators needed, will be given the opportunity to begin training at that time.N.c. R. Prac. Sup. & Dist. Ct. Civ. P. 8
