Non binding crap.... USA all talk. NO action.
I'll add. Question needs to be asked.
Has Nigel and BOD lost all control of this
Situation?.....Are we dead in the water?

Not sure if this is a positive, negative or just life moving forward for Salim

Any insight anyone?

A quick look at the ICSID rules says this about resignations.

Those specifically mentioned rules 8(2) & 10(2) say some sort of mind numbingly boring legal jargon that I've already forgotten but seemed inconsequential.

Let's hope as the appointment process is progressed it isn't......."compromised"

Can't offer any inside info but probing ChatGPT:

Given he remains a member of the ICSID Panel of Arbitrators he has not been compromised as an arbitrator. If so there would have been formal notification.

Born 1971 and now in his mid 50's working as a QC in parallel with being an ICSID arbitrator, most likely scenario is either health and or overlapping workloads.

My take:
Our case has gone longer than expected due to multiple suspensions at the request of the parties. Our final award should have been mid to late last year. Looking at Salim's professional profile he's a very busy man arbitrating for ICSID in parallel with maintaining an active legal practice and lecturing on international arbitration. His news feed mentions being in court Dec 2025 with the next item he deemed worthy of mention being in 2024. My point being that since news items are few and far between perhaps this Dec 2025 item is more noteworthy and demanding of his time than it seems.

I speculate it's just overlapping workloads and given we are already suspended at our own request until end of Feb it's a good time to step aside allowing the vacancy to be filled without delaying proceedings further.

Salim was the arbitrator appointed by us; so I assume his replacement will also then be appointed by us as well.

Deboss must be the frontrunner in that case

Since Moollan was AVZ’s appointee, the right to name a replacement belongs to AVZ alone.

AVZ does not need the DRC’s permission or approval to select a specific individual, provided the new appointee is independent and qualified. So fuck you Felix and your family of syphilitic kleptocrats.

Cheers
