Culture clash – can online dispute resolution
Culture clash – can online dispute resolution be the way forward?
Dr Siew Fang Law and David Peter Leonard
(2008) 19 ADRJ 55
This article explores the challenges of culture and language on intercultural
online dispute resolution. It is arguable that culture and language not only
bring meaning to the world, they shape one’s cognitive processes, ie
perception, interpretations and judgments. Through the examination of Asian
language and discourse, particularly Chinese, the article explores an implicit
social meaning that is centred in Asian online communication styles. It also
examines the alternative strategies, such as the use of a private vocabulary
shared by members of the same culture.

Online Dispute Resolution emerging in India
Online Dispute Resolution emerging in India: CJ
Kochi (PTI): Online Dispute Resolution involving mediation and arbitration with the help of technology, was emerging as a branch of dispute resolution, Chief Justice of Kerala, H L Dattu said on Saturday.
In India, this method is in its infancy stage and is gaining prominence day by day, he said after inaugurating the National Conference on 'court annexed mediation and role of institutional arbitration' here.
With the enactment of Information Technology Act, 2000, e-commerce and e-governance have been given a formal and legal recognition. Even the traditional arbitration law of India has been reformulated and 'Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996' was enacted, he said.
In mediation, the practitioner has no advisory role, instead, a mediator renders help to parties to develop a shared understanding of the conflict and to work towards building a practical and lasting solution, he said.
He also emphasised the need for creating awareness on mediation among the general public.
"Unless the general public was aware of the goodness in the process of mediation, all our efforts would turn out to be a futile exercise", he added. The litigant public, who look to the court for redressal of their grievance, should have an idea about this process, he said.

Pew Internet Releases Online Shopping Report
Press release: "Most online Americans view online shopping as a way to save time and a convenient way to buy products. At the same time, most internet users express discomfort over a key step in online shopping – sending personal or credit card information over the internet. According to the Pew Internet Project’s September 2007 survey...The report, entitled Online Shopping: Internet users like the convenience but worry about the security of their financial information, finds that two-thirds (66%) of online Americans have at one time bought a product online. If online Americans did not have such high levels of concern about sending personal or credit card information over the internet, the report estimates that the share of internet users buying products online could be as much as 3 percentage points higher, or 69%."

President Jose Ramos-Horta
The good news early today is that President Ramos-Jorta of East Timor is in a serious but stable condition and seems to be gradually improving from the assassinaiton attempt of last Monday. We pray for his continuing and complete recovery. Ramos-Horta won the Nobel peace Prize in 1996 for his nonviolent campaign against the 24-year Indonesian occupation. We had looked forward to hearing him speak in June since he had agreed to be one of the keynote speakers at the 2008 International Online Dispute Resolution Forum in Victoria, Canada < http://www.odr.info/victoria >
