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
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

There may be someone else who's better qualified, but I am local and this sounds interesting to me.
I've been with the Wikipedia project for about four years and am one of the thousand-ish volunteer administrators. I've worked on our policy enforcement, policy development and conflict resolution issues fairly actively, and have a long experience with other online communities, dating back into the 1980s.
Like George, I'm local and have a long Wikipedia resume (~6 years).
I've always enjoyed talking about Wikipedia and don't get enough opportunities to do that, so this could be fun.
On site I've often gravitated towards policy issues, though I tend not to dip too deeply into dispute resolution / arbitration most of the time, so there may well be better people to choose. Anyway, I'm happy to discuss it.

If people are interested in doing it jointly, I might be game.
In addition to some relevant Wikipedia experience, I've got a lot of experience with on-line community, real-world cooperatives, open-source development, and Agile software development methods. I think the first three of those were influences on Wikipedia, and all of them share a bottom-up, fluid approach to power.
My day job is helping teams adopt Agile approaches, so I've had a fair bit of practice explaining do-ocracies and ad-hocracies. I may be able to find a game that other Agile coaches use to demonstrate the feel of it.

By the way, for people interested in this topic there was an interesting review of Wikipedia's Arbitration process written by two law professors earlier this year:
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1354424
One of its key points is (as most Wikipedians know) that Arbitration paradoxically seeks to resolve disputes while almost never trying to resolve the disputed content.
