[ga] UDRP and WIPO panelist bias in plain sight

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

It's alarming to read decisions like:

http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/text.jsp?case=D2010-1204

which contain the following sentence:

"Based on the evidence available, the Panel regrets that it is unable to 
conclude that the third limb of paragraph 4(a) has been established."

The panelist came to the correct decision, denying the Complaint, however why 
should a supposedly "independent" panel have any feelings whatsoever of 
"regret"????!!!!???? Does ICANN ever even read these decisions, to see why 
registrants are so aghast at the inherent bias demonstrated time and time again 
by UDRP panelists?

ICANN has refused repeatedly to bring the UDRP providers under contract, to 
ensure accountability. It's decisions like these that demonstrate that ICANN 
continues to support bad panelists and bad providers by their lack of action.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
