We just got a very nice note from the managers of the WK blog, indicating that, “on behalf of the editorial team, I am delighted to let you know that your post “Mediating online is so much more than doing it on Zoom” was one of the most popular posts on the blog last month.” The post, regarding Zoom and mediation, can be found at POST
On March 19, I will present, with Colin Rule and Jeff Aresty, at the 35th anniversary convention of the Texas Association of Mediators – the event is online and finally happening after being postponed due to the severe storms in Texas last month. Our topic will be “Zoom to AI: The Future of ODR.” On April 29, I will be one of the English language presenters at the ODR conference sponsored by ODRLatinAmeria. The focus of the five-day conference will be broad, covering training, platforms, ethics, and future trends.

Ana Maria Maia Goncalves and I have just posted a new mini-essay on the Kluwer Mediation Blog – the post can be found at http://mediationblog.kluwerarbitration.com/
The photo is from last night, at the last meeting of one of the two most recent ODR classes – with students from the US, Brazil, and Angola. Tonight Ana and I will wrap up the first Australian edition of the class – after 8 class meetings over 15 weeks. In addition to these online classes, I’m finally getting to the finish line with some other things that will wrap up from now through the beginning of February.
There are a lot of other irons in the fire, but these are finally coming off my to-do list. I’m smiling.
