The Fifth International Forum on Online Dispute Resolution produced a statement regarding dialog using information and communications technologies (ICT) (i.e., internet-based, dynamic conversations). The statement is aspirational and encourages individuals to:
communicate online with respect
listen carefully to others in order to understand their perspectives
take responsibility for their words and actions
keep criticism constructive
respect diversity and be tolerant of differences
As ombuds confront a growing number of relationships impacted by ICT, this may be a useful reference. (ODR Statement, via Mediate.com.)
