In spite of the large amount of text in this article, this article still does not meet the WP:WEB criteria: no evidence of actual articles about the site in WP:RS -- mere mentions in passing do not count. In spite of the apparently impressive list of references, most are either self-cites, mentions in passing, not from WP:RS, or irrelevant to the subject of the article. The material referring to the notability or otherwise of its creators is also irrelevant, since notability is not inheritable.

 * Delete. Most of the content is about the Institute for Conflict Management, which might be a legitimate topic for an article (the content herein doesn't assert the notability of that particularly well, either; it's mostly biographical information about its key people). The actual content about the website which is ostensibly supposed to be subject of this article is weak; no WP:RS are provided. It has been cited a couple of times extremely briefly (I see two links to it on the NY Times link provided, and it is mentioned once in passing on the CFR link provided). No substantial coverage about the actual site has been demonstrated. -- Kinu t /c  16:54, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
