This is our Annual Report of those panelists who have Denied more Complaints than the other Panelists at the National Arbitration Forum (NAF). Our analysis consists of 3 lists that we have compiled for your use. The first list is the TOP 10 Panelists for the past 6 months. The second list is the TOP Panelists for the past 12 months. The third list is the TOP 10 ALL TIME PANELISTS at NAF.
In total, 53 different panelists have denied Complaints within the last 6 months at the NAF. Of those 53, 7 have found that the Complainant was guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking (RDNH) and Abuse of Process, and 3 have denied URS Claims. Those 3 are HO HYUN NAHM (twice), DAVID STEELE (twice) and PETER MULLER.
So if you find yourself on the receiving end of a UDRP Action, these are the panelists that you want on that panel.
