Event Mediators Faction.
1.They would be like Angels.Not have any bias or partiality and will have a Neutral ID.
2.They will try to hold a event every week,said event could be anything from a full fledged *organised* battle mayhem(Instead of the usual entire fleet attacking the enemy at once using tactics that don't make any sense) TO a racing contest.What ever the human mind can conjure up.
3.They will talk with the factions and if said factions respond that they are interested then they will organize the event and send the involved factions the information like when,where,who(maybe not even the who!!!) .
4.They will be present during the event flying Neutral ID'd Ships making sure all goes well.

This *hopefully* solves the problem where said factions with a OORP grudge still compete or fight/participate.

Oh and importantly,it wont be a pure RP event,there will be some action be it a contest or a race or a battle.

I swear... it's when you realize that things don't happen naturally anymore, and everything seems like a chore.

Final nail, I swear. Make note of this.
Not every experience guarantee's that its a golden rule.
I think what you speak of is because those realized that the server is dying so they took action (which failed) hence it looks like it lead to that death of server in the first place.
But this is not the case here as i personally don't believe the server is dying and don't consider this a remedy but something for all of us to enjoy.

We don't need another group of "game masters" or mediators. If there was someone who could actually be in that spot and do those task without risk of them screwing up, they would probably be admins where they would be more useful.

Also Angels are biased as hell just as everyone is.

Your general intentions are okay and quality server activity/roleplay are great, but the quoted line demonstrates a big problem with the proposal - you can't force the issue to make things happen artificially. As yet another person in it, I can say that forking the Official Leaders Chat and expecting a different result is insanity. An event committee for the purpose of brainstorming might be interesting, but slapping "MANDATORY" on anything or throwing around more authority is a big turn-off. People drop in and out of Discovery to relax when they're free, so both driving a group to crank out events and penalizing entire factions for not making time in their real life schedules are going to lead to resentment and burnout over yet another chore (not to mention issues of time zones, logistics, and representation).

I'm not a dev or admin, but I think the best you can expect is an empty, closed system with POBs added each event to represent objects. From what I understand, placing a different set of planetary bodies, NPC stations, etc. means a whole new update will need to be downloaded each time. During down weeks with no creative events, I guess you could host multiple teams sieging/defending multiple bases at different ends of the system, last stands at the center, etc. Might be fun to blow off steam.

If anyone has an event idea, they are free to bring it up on the forums, as the system already allows for a community critique and voluntary involvement. There's currently a race in the works, and I've heard of plans for more. The best I can suggest is finding creative people, developing some good event ideas, making them highly visible (this can include contacting faction leaders), ensuring everyone has fun, and enticing others to join in for future events. Make it a full experience - a good premise, interesting sides/teams, a compelling reward (even if it's just inRP), and news coverage.

People should host events because they WANT to, not because they're required to. Otherwise, you're gonna get folks who do a half-arsed job, or who just quit.

I recently pitched a race idea in the leaders chat, and it was fairly well received. I plan to write up the details soon.

Lets look for something else to blame.

Zoners, basshunters, indies, factions, faction leaders, admins, mods, POB's, pirates, silent traders, lag, SRP's etc. etc.

There are serious problems on the server but this is supposed to be a community, without radical change it is what we have.

It has evolved into something not fit for purpose, probably because it has lost its purpose. Try and redefine that and there may be a way to move forward.

As far as I know, officials. Perhaps respected unofficials groups too.
