Online Ombuds Office (fwd)
*********************************************************************
Some members of this list may have in interest in (or know
someone
who has a need for) the Online Ombuds Office, which can be found at
http://www.ombuds.org This is a pilot project aimed at using
online tools
to try to resolve disputes arising out of online activities (and
even
non-online activities). There is no charge for the use of the
service,
since most of our costs are covered by a grant from the National
Center
for Automated Information Research.
If you belong to any listservs or newsgroups where disputes
arising
out of online activities are discussed, I'd be most grateful if you
would
mention the project and our URL.
We are particularly interested in disputes involving
copyrights,
domain names, First Amendment, online service providers, and
harassment.
Our home page even describes a little reward for the parties in the
first
disputes that we settle in these areas.
