> <!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->With regard to selection of

> recent work on the                  UDRP.  [Mary- perhaps you can elaborate

> <!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Since several providers were

>  the DT deferred reviewing recommended speakers, and will finalize the list
