[gnso-igo-wt] Kick off email for discuss

[McGrady, Paul D.]

Thanks Kavouss.

All, it appears we now have three options regarding Choice of Law:

1.  The parties deciding at the time of agreeing to arbitration;
2.  The arbitrator making the decision in all cases; or
3.  The arbitrator making the decision in cases where the parties agree to arbitration but cannot agree on a Choice of Law.

I can live with any of these three, since ultimately a party can decide not to engage in arbitration of they do not have control over the Choice of Law.  If we wish to promote the use of binding arbitration, it seems to me that 1 is the most likely to do so, followed by 3 and then lastly 2.

Best,
Paul

Dear Paul
Tks
But these are not two independent options but two stepwise options
In other words , if the parties do not agree on the choice of law  then the arbiter acts as in option 2

Discuss!
