Liverpool Conference Opening Remarks from Daewon Choi
The Fifth Internationa Forum on ODR held in collaboration with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific was privileged to hear an opening statement from Mr. Daewon Choi, chief of ICT Policy for UNESCAP. The statement, at http://www.odr.info/liverpool/choi.htm will, I believe, be an important document in the history of ODR as a statement of its global importance.

Statement on Respectful Online Communication
Drafted jointly and agreed to by consensus April 20, 2007 at the 5th International Forum on Online Dispute Resolution in Liverpool, England – held in collaboration with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
"While information and communications technologies (ICT) enable unprecedented interactions between individuals around the world, they also introduce some dynamics that can degrade dialogue.
ICT enables people to communicate immediately and anonymously, often without moderation, and in some circumstances this encourages behavior (such as threats or insults) that most individuals would never engage in face-to-face.
This behavior may make people feel unwelcome, disrespected, or harassed in their online interactions. Ultimately, individuals may be dissuaded by these dynamics from participating, which undermines the vibrancy of our global conversation.
As a result, we encourage individuals to:
• communicate online with respect
• listen carefully to others in order to understand their perspectives
• take responsibility for their words and actions
• keep criticism constructive
• respect diversity and be tolerant of differences
We embrace full and open communication and recognize the unique opportunity for expression in the online environment. We support freedom of speech and reject censorship. These principles are not intended to address what ideas can be expressed, but rather the tone with which communications take place."

Major new comparative study of extra-judicial consumer redress in the EU
The University of Leuven has conducted a study on alternative means of consumer redress other than redress through ordinary judicial proceedings. It consists of a comparative report and 28 national reports (for the EU-25, Australia, Canada and the US). The study includes an overview of the national legal provisions for collective redress.
The Commission has also launched a new study focusing specifically on collective redress in the EU.
The Commission will use the results of both studies as well as information provided by stakeholders to decide whether, and if so, to which extent, an initiative on collective redress is required at EU level.
