Counsel to Claimant has requested my expert opinion regarding the meaning of the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA”), Article 10.18.2(b), which requires a claimant submitting a claim to arbitration under Section B of Chapter 10 of CAFTA to waive its right to initiate or continue certain types of proceedings. Counsel also has asked me to respond to statements made by Professor W. Michael Reisman on behalf of Respondent concerning the interpretation of Article 10.18.2(b).
