(i) any objections concerning the existence, validity or applicability of the arbitration agreement; however, failure to object shall not preclude the respondent from raising such objections at any time up to and including the submission of the statement of defence;
(ii) an admission or denial of the relief sought in the request for arbitration;
(iii) a preliminary statement of any counterclaims or set-offs, including an estimate of the monetary value thereof;
(iv) where counterclaims or set-offs are made under more than one arbitration agreement, a specification of the arbitration agreement under which each counterclaim or set-off is made;
(v) comments on the number of arbitrators and the seat of arbitration; and
(vi) if applicable, the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address of the arbitrator appointed by the respondent.
(2) The Secretariat shall send a copy of the answer to the claimant. The claimant may be given an opportunity to submit comments on the answer, having regard to the circumstances of the case.
(3) Failure by the respondent to submit an answer shall not prevent the arbitration from proceeding.
