A Yale alumna works to bring water to the remote Azawak region of Niger, where drought is devastating a traditional nomadic way of life. Find out how Ariane Kirtley discovered the plight of the Azawak, and how she came to the conclusion that someone had to do something to help these gentle and hardworking people.
There has been some discussion here and in other places of the difficulty of handling disputes in Second Life. I have given some thought to creating a dispute resolution mechanism through TSL. Essentially, parties to a dispute would have to mutually agree (consent) to allow TSL to hear the dispute. (Jurisdiction). An uninterested 3rd party would hear the dispute and attempt to reach a conclusion based on the facts (I'm thinking this could be a very interesting project for my law school to get involved in).I want to know your thoughts on the need for a dispute resolution mechanism. Do we need one?What should its limits be? What types of cases should it hear?Please let me know your thoughts. It is quite a large undertaking to develop a system and before I set out on doing so, I want your feedback.
