I though the idea was to put this organization in the most neutral possible forum, for instance Switzerland or better yet a third world country where even its small spending meant it has the pull to not be bothered with a few thousand years of consistent human error in concocting what is alarmingly referred to as a legal 'system'.

Sooner or later it may be apparent the bagagge of that great state will require a redrafting elsewhere. California is *not* the place to try to make a scalable Alternate Despute Resolution system work.

California "Safe Harbor laws"?, better "no Harbor". Its a nice try.

Its just amazingly revolting all these things like International air travel (especially safety), polution abatement, and now Internet can't escape the horror of jurisdiction based on what plot of land on which you stand.

And then, there's really the heavy duty dead end, (getting some blessing from the U.N.)

Hmmmm maybe California isn't that bad, after all.

So, what's the work around? Buy a judge? It's probably not that easy. Probably will have a buy a few.

Actually we all know the only right way is to prove to the Internet community; (which is effectively going to be the people of earth minus there goverments) that non-territorial organizations in electronic form represent their interests and then the regular system will be sneered out of existance.

How:
1) Be cheap.
2) Be fair.
3) Be fast.
4) Don't conceal things.
5) Explain, Explain, Explain, and then, Explain what your doing and why.
6) Use volunteers when possible, there can be ethical problems with this, but then where there are people, there are problems.
7) Try to design insitutational arrangements that avoid people in conflict in the first place.

Not too easy to do sustainably!
