  Because they can select the arbitrators, they select the
arbitrators favorable to them.  Big companies, as a matter of course, will
select the WIPO panel.  Because big companies are usually the
complainants, the WIPO panel generates a lot of business and the other
arbitrators die.  Finally, only one arbitrator will be alive. Guess who
that will be?
