Thursday at the Forum
This is the Zofin Palace, site of the ICANN reception last night. Not bad – lots of food and music, and fireworks on the river late in the evening.
Today the conference began with a speech by Mike Dennis from the U.S. State Department on the work being done by the UNCITRAL group and others around the world – essentially a primer on the role of government in the creation and regulation of ODR schemes.
We had a report out from the working groups, but not enough time to re-engage the discussions – we will do that tomorrow. All of the material generated so far is posted at the following discussion forum:
