[legalxml-odr] RE: Online Dispute Resolution Meetings RSVP Poll(Atlanta, Seattle, San Antonio, Geneva?)

[jkeane <jik@jkeane.com>]

The OdrXML Technical Committee needs you to fill out a very simple meeting
planning form at:

http://www.bowie-jensen.com/mtg/index.php

In the charter we used the ABA Meeting in Seattle on Feb 7-9 as a potential
meeting site, but several other candidate have emerged where we may have
better participation. By taking the poll we can determine if we will have
enough players in Seattle or at other meeting.

1) Eighth Annual Winter Working Meeting of the American Bar Association's
Cyberspace Law Committee in Atlanta, Georgia on January 24 and 25, 2003.
http://www.abanet.org/buslaw/cyber/meetings.htmloll we can decide to have
one or more meetings for different groups.

2) ABA MidYear Meeting in Seattle and the Annual meeting in San Francisco.
The Dispute Resolution Section is listed for meetings from February 7-9 at
the Renaissance Madison hotel.

3) Dispute Resolution Section Conference in San Antonio from March 20-2
 http://www.abanet.org/dispute/conference/brochure.pdf (see key details
below)


4) UN ODR Forum in June 6-7 , 2003 in Geneva (forum to have a dialogue with
OdrXML folks from around the world.
http://www.unece.org/press/pr2002/02opa09e.htm

Please do not RSVP to the this eMail list. Just use the form. Do post other
suggestions, agenda items, additional meetings opportunities on this
discussion thread.

I'm pulling the minutes together for the kick-off call along with some
additional developments. I will circulate a draft to the attendees and then
to the whole community.

Happy New Year to all. Don't close this eMail, please. Take a minute to the
Meeting planning link. http://www.bowie-jensen.com/mtg/index.php

And look at the courses planned for March. Please note if I have missed
anything.

Dear Mr. Keane,

I have looked the website referred to in your e mail and would be grateful
if you could contact me on the telephone (00 41 22 338 8028) to discuss how
do you anticipate that the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center could get
involved in the activities of your organization.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Ignacio de Castro

Deborah,
It's been awhile since we tried to get you involved the in ABA London
program in 2000.  I 've helped organize an online dispute resolution
technical committee for LegalXML/OASIS (see www.legalxml.org) to develop xml
standards for data exchange betweem ecommerce providers and courts with ODR
providers.  Is there someone at WIPO who should be involved with this?

Please use jik@jkeane.com for your reply. I am using this back-up account
just for the day.

Best,
Jim Keane
