John Helie founded ConflictNet as the first online conflict resolution community in 1988. Jim Melamed was then Executive Director of the Academy of Family Mediators and wanted a way to conveniently communicate with Board Members and constituents without playing endless “phone tag.” The answer was email and bulletin boards initially, and, in time, the world wide web. This was 8 years before the commercial internet!
Mediate.com, founded by John and Jim in 1995, now in our 27th year, has realized John’s and Jim’s recognition that every mediation case would in time come to be an “online case,” and that entire dispute resolution systems would in time be fully online. ODR.com now manifests this dream.
