  Commencement of Conciliation Proceedings
  (1) The party initiating conciliation shall
  
  send to the other party a written invitation to conciliate under this Part,
  
  briefly identifying the subject of the dispute.
  (2) Conciliation proceedings shall commence
  
  when the other party accepts in writing the invitation to conciliate.

  (4) If the party initiating conciliation does
  
  not receive a reply within thirty days from the date on which he sends the invitation,
  
  or within such other period of time as specified in the invitation, he may
  
  elect to treat this as a rejection of the invitation to conciliate and if he so
  
  elects, he shall inform in writing the other party accordingly.
