[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] - Legal Expert Follow-Up

[Steve Chan]

George,

Thanks for the follow-up email. We did in fact receive response from the
candidates, but unfortunately, not of the nature that we were seeking. Two
of the candidates (David Stewart and Mark Feldman) removed their names
from consideration and John Bellinger¹s preliminary rate is considerably
higher than the allocated budget for this work. However, Mr. Bellinger was
kind enough to provide another name for consideration that, with Jim
Bikoff¹s assistance, staff is currently reaching out to determine his
level of interest and ability to assist (taking into account timing and
budget concerns as well). His name is Edward Swaine and he is a law
professor at George Washington University
(http://www.law.gwu.edu/Faculty/profile.aspx?id=10968). While we await
response from him, it would be useful if WG members could review his CV
and other background information to ensure that there is support for
pursuing this candidate.

Apologies for not providing an update earlier and I regret that the news
is not more positive at this juncture.

Best,
Steve
