Thank you Michael and all-
I am happy to speak by phone with anyone who may wonder what this is about before they
offer to help further. I can be reached at 650 363-4148.
I have confirmed Colin Rule from EBay/Paypal speaking on Nov. 2nd about Online dispute
resolution at EBay. I recognize Wikipedia encounters a very different set of dispute
issues.
I would like to explore whether there might be an interesting case study that a speaker
and I could work up to help these second and third year law students with an interest in
alternative dispute resolution grapple with how to set up a dispute resolution system
(that is outside the courts and the commercial sector) that works well. I am curious about
Wikipedia's efforts on this.
I am afraid I can't offer money but I would be happy to take my guest out for a meal
in advance where we could discuss/prepare a bit.
If it doesn't work out I understand and thank you for considering the request.
Thanks again,
Sheila

Sheila Purcell is teaching
a Dispute System Design class this fall at Hasting College of the Law and was hoping to
have a guest speaker discuss what the structure and process is for resolving such disputes
at Wikipedia.
If anyone is interested or knows someone that could help out please contact Sheila.
peace,
michael
