However, this is not the way to do it. There are already panelists who have figured out that they can make a nice little side income by making dumb decisions. Do you really want to create an even greater incentive for panelists to market themselves as *partial* arbitrators. Better overhaul idea -- 1. All domain name disputes go to a single member panelist. Either party can appeal that one member panel's decision to a three member panel. 2. If a panelist is overturned on appeal more than three times, he or she is suspended from being a panelist for 1 year. 3. No single panelist can be involved in more than a finite number of cases per year - not sure how many that should be, but it should be small enough that it will remove the panelists from circulation who make stupid decisions so that they'll be picked again. 4. Give RDNH some teeth. All it is now is a psychological victory. Frivolous appeals and RDNH should come with a financial penalty. I agree that the UDRP needs overhauling.

Better overhaul idea —

1. All domain name disputes go to a single member panelist. Either party can appeal that one member panel’s decision to a three member panel.

2. If a panelist is overturned on appeal more than three times, he or she is suspended from being a panelist for 1 year.

3. No single panelist can be involved in more than a finite number of cases per year – not sure how many that should be, but it should be small enough that it will remove the panelists from circulation who make stupid decisions so that they’ll be picked again.

4. Give RDNH some teeth. All it is now is a psychological victory. Frivolous appeals and RDNH should come with a financial penalty.
