Mistake #1:  You don't "abide by the decisions of WIPO".  You abide by 
the decisions of an independent arbitrator.

Mistake #2: People sign arbitration agreements all the time.  They are
quite common.  Nobody would fire you for signing an arbitration 
agreement.

Sorry, but you are simply being ridiculous.  You are misrepresenting (or
misunderstand) the UDRP, you are misrepresenting (or misunderstand) the
nature of arbitration, you are misrepresenting (or misunderstand) the 
nature of WIPO.  

In short, you are merely mouthing words because you like their sound.  
There is no actual content.
