7th International Forum on ODR - Victoria, British Columbia, 2008
The 7th Forum consisted of two days of plenary sessions and breakout sessions. The Forum assembled the world's leading practitioners, academics, students, and civil society to discuss the resolution of disputes using online technologies. These disputes may range from b2c (Business to consumer) to the prevention of human rights violations in conflict regions, to reconciliation of opposing groups in armed conflict, to disputes over intellectual property on the internet. It also included the leading technology developers who design conflict resolution platforms for use legal, commercial, or insurance related disputes (i.e. PayPal).
On Monday, April 28, 2008 at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst an historic event took place, the unveiling of a mural from Belfast, Northern Ireland/the north of Ireland. Recently completed, this mural was painted by two artists whose communities were previously at war: Danny Devenny, former Irish Republican Army (IRA) prisoner, and Mark Ervine, son of David Ervine, former Progressive Unionist Party leader and Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) member.

How Can You Use Online Mediation? [0] comments (425 views) Wed Nov 12, 2008Ask a question to President-elect ObamaNCTDR is one of the sponsors of BigDialog.org a cross-partisan partnership of academics, bloggers, and e-communities. If you have a question you would like to ask President Obama, go to BigDialog.org. The eCitizen Foundation, along with its partners and supporters are asking people to pose questions and vote on which questions should be asked to Mr. Obama. The questioners behind the top three questions will be flown to MIT in mid-December to participate in a physical outgrowth of the forum. Additionally, the public will be asked to vote on Mr. Obama's replies, establishing a structural incentive for true dialog. In an age of alleged media bias, it is important that we are able to ask critical questions of our leaders without questioning those who ask the questions. This is a way to get the people's questions directly to their President.
