The Appellate Body is proposing some amendments to its Working Procedures<\/a> (Word Doc):<\/p>\n

\n

We propose the following three amendments to the Working Procedures<\/em>:  <\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font> <\/span><\/span><\/span>First, we suggest that an appellant's written submission be filed when an appeal is commenced, namely, on the same day as the filing of a Notice of Appeal, and that all other deadlines for written submissions, the Notice of Other Appeal and third-party notifications be advanced accordingly.  <\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font> <\/span><\/span><\/span>Secondly, we propose to explicitly authorize, subject to certain conditions, the electronic filing and service of documents.  <\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font> <\/span><\/span><\/span>Thirdly, we propose to introduce a procedure for consolidating appellate proceedings where two or more disputes share a high degree of commonality and are closely related in time.  <\/span><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They explain the reasons in detail in the document.  I don't see anything too controversial in there, although I suppose some Members might object to having to file appellants' submissions earlier.<\/p>\n
