Mr. Chairman, fellow panellists, colleagues all. It is a great pleasure for me to be here this afternoon in my capacity as the ICANN Ombudsman to speak with you about this very interesting subject of conflict resolution on the internet, as it is not only my vocation, it is something that I have become quite interested in from an academic standpoint as well.
But, before I begin, I would like to say that if you have any questions I would be more than happy to take them in French or English. As an Anglophone who learned Montreal style French as a police officer, I do speak French, but just not with the linguistic beauty required in the home of Moliere.
In this discussion this afternoon I see five themes, or roles emerging for the good offices of an independent neutral party in dealing with conflicts between other parties. I propose to go through them briefly.
