As it stands we have an effective mechanism to regulate access to arbitration. 4 arbitrators must vote to accept the case. What is being talked about is some change which would bypass or abrogate that mechanism. Apparently Jimbo's wish, but not absolutely sure. One of his referals (Anthony) never got the 4 votes and he made no comment.

Firstly, as you as an arbitration body clearly wish to have an effective regulator for the process, why should you not give those who are to *be* the regulators enough authority to *effectively* actually *act* as regulators!
