Any mediator so appointed shall be a person of high standing in no way actively connected with labor or management. (b) Nothing in this section shall prevent the Commissioner from serving as a mediator or from appointing a mediator in the absence of a petition if the Commissioner determines that an impasse exists and that the public interest so requires.
