Select information for the recipient’s needs
Für dich ist vor allem wichtig, dass du dich bis Mittwoch anmeldest.
Relay the facts that affect another person’s action while keeping the relevant conditions.
Mediation helps someone use information they cannot easily process themselves. Start with the recipient’s purpose, then choose the relevant facts from the source. Für dich ist vor allem wichtig, dass … focuses the message. Keep dates, conditions and practical next steps accurate. You may omit an unrelated detail, but not a restriction that changes what the person should do. Do not add your own assumption as if the source stated it. A concise message should let the recipient act and should identify any question that remains open. The goal is useful meaning, not a word-for-word copy of every sentence.
