Transparency
most OK re: process info.
- few address issue of applicable law
most deficient re: independence/ impartiality
most deficient re: case results
- arbitration case results
- general stats otherwise
Notes:
Info. on process (procedural rules; applicable fees; tools used; confidentiality; how decisions are made, etc.):
- 2 notably deficient (clickNsettle; WebDisputeResolutions
- Online Mediators, CyberCourt, WebMediate
- mediation requires confidentiality; no rulings to publish
- only 4 of 11 arbitration providers publish results (no caselaw)
- anonymous/aggregate statistics important re: track record; assessment of impartiality; public accountability of ADR providers
