Here's the list of Americans on the recently updated indicative list of WTO panelists:
BROWN-WEISS, Ms. Edith
CONNELLY, Mr. Warren
GANTZ, Mr. David A.
GORDON, Mr. Michael Wallace
HODGSON, Ms. Mélida
KASSINGER, Mr. Theodore W.
KHO, Mr. Stephen
LAYTON, Mr. Duane
LICHTENSTEIN, Ms. Cynthia Crawford
McGINNIS, Mr. John Oldham
PARTAN, Mr. Daniel G.
POWELL, Mr. Stephen J.
SANDSTROM, Mr. Mark R.
THOMPSON, Mr. George W.
TROSSEVIN, Ms. Marguerite
VERRILL, Jr. Mr. Charles Owen
And here's the list of Americans who have been WTO panelists:
Davey, William
Horlick, Gary
Hudec, Robert
Hufbauer, Gary
Jackson, John
Janow, Merit
Lavorel, Warren
Powell, Stephen
Echols, Marsha
Steve Powell aside, is there any lesson to draw other than, if you want to be a WTO panelist, stay off the indicative list?
That's a joke, of course, but if nobody has written about this yet, it would be interesting to compare the people on the roster with the people selected as panelists for each country, and speculate about the results.
