Editing Arbitration DAO (section)

=== arbDAO workflow ===
Specifically, the arbWSC then calls arbitrator(s) from the arbDAO to do the work of the arbWSC. The arbitrators are selected (usually randomly weighted by arbREP) by the arbWSC from the currently functioning arbitration availability smart contracts (arbASCs) from the arbDAO bench.

The work of the arbWSC means the arbitrators follow the established arbDAO protocols for resolving a dispute between parties to the WSC. Once the work of arbitration is finished off chain, the arbWSC concludes by posting evidence of its work to the Forum for recording, then initiates a [[Validation Pool]] for the post to disburse the fees and mint new arbREP.

The arbWSC will typically itself include a clause which allows unsatisfied parties to trigger another arbWSC, recursively. Assuming the issue is not resolved to the satisfaction of the parties, these subsequent arbWSCs can escalate in intensity, such as expanding the number of judges to give greater attention to the matter, perhaps escalating to the larger attention of the DAO. 

The incentive for each party to [[Corruption|corruptly]] [[wikipedia:Abuse_of_process|exploit]] the arbitration clause is everpresent and will need to be policed by sophisticated legal thinking when designing the protocols in each particular arbWSC. This needs to be continually updated as markets change, so the arbitrators themselves will improve the protocols with the DGF [[legislative governance]] process.

==== Example arbitration chain ====
Each stage is meant to facilitate a harmonious resolution to the dispute. This may be intended to redress a harm, but it may be resolved by instituting a future plan for further business.

# Negotiation: Basic WSC is paused. The parties attempt to resolve their difference informally. If this fails, one or more party triggers the next step.
# Mediation: One judge (''mediator'') is chosen to facilitate formal communication and resolution following an established process of information discovery. If this fails, one or more party triggers the next step.
# First Arbitration: One judge (''arbitrator'') is called. Parties submit their cases. Arbitrator proposes the disbursement of assets. If this fails, one or more party triggers the next step.
# Arbitration Appeal: A new arbitrator is called. Repeat 3 a fixed number of times. If this fails, one or more party triggers the next step.
# Court Case: Larger body of judges is called from the DAO to resolve the case democratically. This finalizes the WSC.

If Step 5 fails, the code-is-law standard prevents the WSC from being tampered with. However, one or more parties which are still unsatisfied can make their final appeal to judicial redistribution of REP tokens, by making a proposal for [[Judicial governance#Forum revaluation|Forum revaluation]]. Weighted democracy by participation of the entire DAO determines the outcome.
