[LINK] Web Dispute Resolution Policy

[Tom Worthington]

Philip Argy, Chairman of the WIPO Planning Committee has sent out a new
draft Web Dispute Resolution Policy and invited comment
<http://www.argystar.com/WDRP.html>. He is in Geneva at WIPO
conferences, so if you are there, look him up, otherwise you can join
the WDRP discussion group on Facebook or email him comments.

The draft policy is available as an RFT document 
<http://www.argystar.com/WDRPv1.rtf>. It is a shame WIPO are
not producing the policy as a well formatted web page. My attempt at a
web translation is at:
