The UDRP is not an arbitration panel. WIPO carefully avoided recommending 
that it should be one in its report, and later revisions have kept that 
distance.

Arbitration (in most jurisdictions) is legally binding on the parties, and 
not subject to being taken to court if dissatisfied.
The UDRP is different in both aspects.
