        Margie,
        
        Could you publish an updated list of the recommendations now? I know it
        isn't final, but would be helpful to see a comprehensive list again.
        
        Thanks,

        > I just received WIPO’s response to my inquiry.   Please note that 
they took a different approach in making recommendations (focusing on quality 
rather than quantity) as reflected in the excerpts below from their response.

        > WIPO believes in quality of information and approach.  The success of 
the UDRP is all about substantive expert understanding.  At the 10-May-2011 
webinar, WIPO will make a number of observations on the envisaged process and 
on the UDRP more generally.  
        >  
        > On that basis, and for present purposes, we are pleased to submit as 
the WIPO Center’s UDRP panelist recommendations, David Bernstein and Tony 
Willoughby.  Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Willoughby are among the most respected and 
appointed of WIPO’s 450 UDRP panelists.  With hundreds of WIPO UDRP decisions 
between them, each has authored an extensive body of carefully reasoned UDRP 
jurisprudence (whereby their recorded transfer rate incidentally ranks among 
the most conservative).  Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Willoughby have for many years 
been core faculty members for the annual WIPO Advanced Domain Name Workshop, 
and have heard there a wide range of views from counsel and filing parties 
(both complainants and respondents, in-house and outside).  They are eminently 
qualified to speak on any number of UDRP topics.  
        >  
        > Both as an Attorney and Complainant, we would recommend Aimee 
Gessner, of BMW.  Ms. Gessner is an Attorney-at-Law (New York, USA), and 
Solicitor (England and Wales), and serves as legal counsel for BMW, a brand 
owner that has filed numerous UDRP disputes with the WIPO Center over many 
years.  Ms. Gessner has also served as faculty for the WIPO Advanced Domain 
Name Workshop, and has extensive experience with the UDRP, and of its value and 
operation from those perspectives, and would be well-qualified to speak with 
authority on the subject.  
        >  
        > We also understand that Paul McGrady and John Berryhill have been put 
forward by others as possible speakers.  For the WIPO Center’s part, we can 
confirm that both have made numerous appearances as outside counsel in many 
WIPO UDRP cases, and have demonstrated experience and substantive knowledge of 
the UDRP.  While they each will have their own vantage point, we believe both 
would be competent to speak on the subject from their relevant practitioner 
perspectives.
