I listened and Mr. Mendel was excellent. The law professor essentially represented the USTR. Nothing earth shattering, but all agreed that the compensation issues will be complex and lengthy to resolve.
Mr. Mendel felt that the legitimacy of the WTO process for small countries is at stake. Essentially we have heard all that was discussed.
Arbitration on Antiqua's request for compensation starts in September and the WTO has set up an arbitration panel.
FWIW, I got the impression that if the US continues its stone-walling Antiqua and lots of small countries will withdraw from the WTO and become software pirate havens.

Archives have it now. The video link didn't work for me, but the Audio is.
