Dear Colleagues,
Tuesday February 4, 2003, 4 to 6:30pm 4th Conference call about the
UNCITRAL e-contracting convention. The agenda covers article 8-15
(Chapter 3). The 2 following articles might raised interesting issues
for consumers:
Article 9 "Invitation to make offers"
Issues include differences between an offer and an "invitation to make
an offer." As we've seen recently in the news an offer of goods and
services thru the internet is not always a binding offer (see Amazons,
Starwood) and it is reflected in paragraph 1 of the article. There
might be some different treatment for virtual goods when "negotiation"
is immediatly followed by conclusion of the contract and performance.
Article 10 "uses of datas messages in contract formation"
First issue is the validity of some expression of consent. Will
"touching or clicking on an appropriately designed icon or place on a
computer screen" be considered as an expression of consent (as in one of
the model "the Uniform Electronic Act of Canada")? However, since the
Working Group wants to be "technologically neutral" we might not talk
about whether clicking on "I agree" will be an expression of consent.
Please contact Bill Luddy if you'd like to join the discussion:

Hi Everyone. During the last Teleconference, we had set several
dates for follow-up sessions. The first is this Tuesday, 4 February
2003, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM EST in the U.S.A. We will have the
call-in number and passcode available tomorrow. If you send an email
to me (wjl@rh.edu), I will forward this information to you.
As for the agenda, we expect to continue the discussion of the
electronic contracting convention project. The Secretariat at
UNCITRAL is in the process of completing a revised draft of the draft
convention but it will probably not be available for official
distribution until the end of March. Nevertheless, there is much
work to be done and it may be possible to provide some input on the
revised draft to the Secretariat as a result of the Teleconference
discussions.
The focus of the discussion will be Articles 8-15. If there is time,
we may be able to return Article 7 on the location of the parties.
The text may be found as an Appendix to WP. 95 which can be accessed
directly at
http://www.uncitral.org/english/workinggroups/wg_ec/wp-95e.pdf
on the UNCITRAL website.
For future planning purposes, the next Teleconference is tentatively
scheduled for Wednesday, 19 February 2003, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM
EST in the U.S.A.
If you have any questions, please let me know. And please send me an
email if you plan to attend Tuesday's session so that I may send you
the information necessary for accessing the teleconference.
Best wishes,
Bill Luddy
