2009 International Forum on ODR - Disputes, Technology and Law: Expanding the Boundaries of Online Dispute Resolution - Haifa, Israel, 6/3-4 2009
The Conference, "Disputes, Technology and Law: Expanding the Boundaries of Online Dispute Resolution", is devoted to ODR. Since 2002, a group of academics, practitioners, and policymakers have been meeting on an annual basis to discuss developments in the field. What has begun as the study of the delivery of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services online (or through software), has grown substantially over the course of these 7 years, to include a wide variety of sophisticated online dispute resolution tools and mechanisms, applied to a wide array of conflicts that range from e-commerce and domain name disputes to family feuds and peacemaking efforts. In addition, the understanding of what ODR is has undergone a significant change with several changes, such as the emergence of digital court projects, the wide availability of legal information online and the transformation of the legal profession, pushing the limits of our current understandings of the borders among ADR, ODR and law. This conference brings together a diverse group from various countries and a wide range of disciplines to study these developments and reflect on future trends.

The U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution will host a Technology in Environmental Conflict Resolution (ECR) Strategic Planning Workshop in Tucson, Arizona, to bring together Web 2.0 technology policy makers, technology partners, and ECR practioners using innovative technologies to improve access to public participation and shared decision-making. The workshop will be held from the evening of May 6th through noon on May 8th at the Tucson Doubletree at Reid Park. This workshop will focus on creating a shared vision and a practical strategy for integrating new technologies into ECR efforts to further enhance public participation, collaboration, scientific modeling, and transparency to build capacity in natural resources management.
The Technology in ECR Strategic Planning Workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and mutual learning among ECR professionals, technology practitioners, and agency representatives, with experience and appreciation for the value technology can bring to ECR processes and that ECR can bring to technology.
