This information is interesteing , but only if one have the possibility to select the panelists when hit buy an UDRP. Is this the case?
If you have a 3 person panel, you get to choose one of the panelists. In addition, WIPO will provide 5 names for the “middle man” panelist, and you can rank them in the order that you choose.
