I agree with you Paul.  On the assumption that the UDRP is in any way 
fair or just (NOT), it would seem feasible that to stop forum shopping 
cases would be assigned on a rotating basis.  That would go against 
the grain of IP interests, but would be a bit more fair to all - just a bit.

I would love to be able to "eat my words" and see some type of just 
program to resolve disputes.  I don't see that with the UDRP at all.
