  1. The constitution of the arbitral tribunal shall not be hindered by any controversy with respect to the respondent’s failure to communicate a response to the notice of arbitration, or an incomplete or late response to the notice of arbitration, which shall be finally resolved by the arbitral tribunal.
  2. The DIS Secretariat communicates the response to the notice of arbitration to the claimant without undue delay.
